Summary
Nikolai Kotchetkov is a seasoned mobile engineering leader with 14+ years of experience, currently heading Android development at VISTA (flyXO) where he runs end-to-end native app production, system design and CI/CD for Kotlin-based ecosystems. He builds for usefulness, frictionless UX and robustness—achieving ~99.7% crash-free users—and steers technology strategy across Kotlin, Coroutines/Flow, MVI, Compose and KMP. A hands-on architect and former SmartTV and web-video lead, he has a history of creating platform-independent runtimes and performance-optimized architectures while leading cross-functional teams.
