About

Senior Android engineer.
Recovering perfectionist.

Hi, I'm Temir Atambayev. I've spent the last 8 years building Android apps used by millions - from the biggest marketplace in NZ to a dating app running in 145 countries. Sulaco Digital is where I build the things nobody asked for.

My focus is on modern tooling - Jetpack Compose, coroutines, the usual suspects - but what I really care about is keeping things clean as they grow. Not just making it work, but making it last.

Beyond shipping features, I enjoy helping other engineers grow: mentoring, code reviews, being the person who explains things clearly. If you want to talk Android, or have a question about one of my apps, I'm easy to reach.
