Summary
T Gilkeson is a seasoned Lead Android Developer with 11 years focused on native Android since Ice Cream Sandwich and a career spanning enterprise VoIP, travel apps, and consumer mobile startups. Based in Mountain View, he leads Android engineering and release processes at Mudflap, bringing hands-on expertise in MVVM, Coroutines, dependency injection, and production tooling while hiring and onboarding the company’s first in-house mobile team. He previously drove major Android features at Skyscanner and Trip.com, owning destination and content modules for apps with millions of downloads and earning top Google Play recognition. His background includes deep systems work—NDK SIP integrations and full-stack admin tooling—from earlier roles at Vertical, reflecting a rare blend of mobile UI/UX craftsmanship and low-level networking experience. He pairs an MS in Computer Science and an MBA with a pragmatic focus on quality: instituting automated testing, staged rollouts, and observability to reduce regressions in fast-moving products. Known for translating product design into robust, maintainable Android code, he’s equally comfortable troubleshooting third-party integrations and mentoring cross-functional teams.
