Über Nikola

I help startups and established companies build high-performing Android apps that delight users and scale reliably. With over 8 years of experience across mobility, fitness, travel, and entertainment, I combine technical depth with a strong product mindset to deliver apps that are both robust and intuitive.

As a co-founder and lead developer of a 12-person mobile agency, I’ve successfully led the full lifecycle of 20+ Android projects — from discovery and architecture to release and ongoing iteration. My work has powered apps with 60,000+ active users and achieved a 99% crash-free rate.

What I Bring

Strong Android expertise: Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Koin/Dagger, GraphQL, Bluetooth LE, CameraX, Firebase, and Auth0

Cross-functional collaboration: Experience working with product owners, designers, and backend teams in agile environments

Leadership & mentorship: Managed mobile teams, refined product strategy, and guided developers toward clean, scalable code

End-to-end delivery: From proof-of-concept to production — including CI/CD setup, A/B testing, and analytics integration

What I Can Help You With


Building or refactoring modern Android apps in Kotlin & Jetpack Compose

Integrating BLE, GraphQL, Firebase, or Salesforce features

Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) adoption and architecture consulting

Improving app performance, reliability, and user experience

Taking ownership of projects from idea to launch

Why Clients Work With Me


Clients appreciate my focus on creating real value — not just writing code. Whether it’s optimizing car connectivity for thousands of vehicles, launching EU-funded digital experiences, or shipping fitness platforms used by paying studios, I bring technical excellence and business awareness to every project.
