Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawn Witte is a Senior Android Engineer with a decade of experience building maintainable mobile platforms and infrastructure, currently at Insulet Corporation after roles at Tinder and Stride. He specializes in architecture, modularization, and developer productivity—leading refactors, CI migrations, and cross-team initiatives to improve build times and code quality. A pragmatic advocate for Kotlin Multiplatform, he repeatedly surfaces it as a solution for platform parity and uses it experimentally in side projects, including an early-stage JRPG and the Play Store app HoloCanon, whose code he maintains on GitHub. Shawn holds a PhD in Mathematics from UC Davis where he combined theoretical work in computational knot theory with large-scale computer experiments, even proving the Frisch-Wasserman-Delbruck conjecture for grid diagrams. He mentors engineers in coroutines, dependency management, and testing practices, and brings a researcher’s rigor to production engineering and tooling. Based in Sacramento, he blends academic depth with hands-on mobile craftsmanship and a taste for playful technical explorations.
