Why Kotlin? Why Now?

Strategic thinking about the future of app development

The Question Every Developer Asks

"What will be the big thing in the next 10 years? What's the next big step into the future?"

My Answer: Kotlin

Right now, I really believe in Kotlin. I had the opportunity to try it some time back, and the coding syntax is fairly unusual - it takes time getting used to. But it's so much neater once you do.

I decided to focus on Kotlin for a strategic reason: I have many years under my belt with C/C++ and similar syntax languages. So it made sense to take the time to learn Kotlin and see what it offers.

The Strategic Play

Sure, I could have just learned Java like everyone else. Here's the problem with that:

  • Java is easy for me - I can learn it very quickly since I know that kind of syntax in my sleep
  • Kotlin is unique - Its syntax is so very special that it really takes time to get into it
  • Better job prospects - I have a better chance of landing a job, even if I might be a bit slow at Java the first few weeks. I could spend those weeks on the job adjusting.
  • Can't do it in reverse - I couldn't have done the opposite. Starting with Java and learning Kotlin on the job would be much harder.

The Market Bet

It's a pretty niche market, sure. But I believe Kotlin will grow heavily with the incoming younger generations.

Google made Kotlin the preferred language for Android development. Companies are modernizing their codebases. The trajectory is clear - and I'm positioning myself ahead of the curve.

That's the kind of strategic thinking I bring to projects.

Why Work With Me

Straight talk about what you're actually getting

I Ship Real Products

Not concept art. Not prototypes that "almost work." Real apps that you can download right now and that actual people use. EasyCCTV is live. Lists & Notes is nearly there. Your project will get the same treatment.

Modern Tech, No BS

Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material Design 3, MVVM architecture. I use tools that make apps better, not buzzwords that make presentations prettier. Clean code matters. User experience matters more.

Clear Communication

You'll know where your project stands. No jargon unless you ask for it. Regular updates. Honest timelines. If something's harder than expected, you'll hear about it before it's a problem.

I Actually Care

These aren't just gigs. I'm building a portfolio, a reputation, and honestly? I love this stuff. Your app success is my app success. When users love what we build together, that's the whole point.

Reliable & Committed

I finish what I start. Deadlines matter. Quality matters. If I take your project, I'm seeing it through. No disappearing acts, no excuses. Just solid work until we hit "publish."

Growing, Not "Expert"

I'm not selling 20 years of experience I don't have. What I am: motivated, capable, and learning fast. Two apps shipped. More coming. That energy and hunger? It's worth something.
