About

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Tase Gula

I'm passionate about technology, software and design.
Right now I'm working as an Android Developer, using Kotlin, RxJava, MVVM and databing.
Also, I like experimenting with App Design and server side technologies.

What do I do?

App Development

I'm at my best while developing Android, but I've played with cross-platform development as well

App Design

Not my strongest point, and I'm still learning, but I can help when a designer is not around

Deploy & Maintenance

The development process doesn't end once the app is in the store; the users may need new features

Testing

A good app needs testing

Skills

My knowledge stack

My usual stack of technologies for Android is Kotlin and/or Java with RxJava (and its counterparts: RxAndroid and RxKotlin), and Android Jetpack.
For the networking part, my go to framework is Retrofit, of course with RxJava (and usually Gson).
The usual architectural pattern I use is MVVM, heavily integrated with RxJava, for a bottom-up approach.
When needed, the local database is kept up to date with the help of Android Room.
