About Me
Rohail Ahmad - Professional

Hobbies:

  • Helping businesses kickstart ideas
  • Golf, Badminton, Gym
  • Home fixes
  • Brainstorming innovative solutions

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience shipping products that reach millions of users. From fintech and digital mail at Kivra to energy platforms at Eliq and mobile banking at Meezan Bank, I've delivered 20+ production apps across Sweden, Germany, and Pakistan — turning complex problems into clean, scalable solutions.

My core expertise is Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android, but I think beyond platforms. Lately I've been exploring AI-powered tools and building side projects like Pulse AI, a privacy-first desktop news dashboard. I'm driven by curiosity, not just tech stacks.

What sets me apart isn't just code — it's ownership. I care deeply about the business outcome behind every feature, collaborate openly across product, design, and backend teams, and take responsibility from idea to production. At Kivra, that meant spearheading invoice payments and boosting successful transactions by 25% in one quarter.

What I Bring to a Team

A pragmatic engineer who writes maintainable code, mentors teammates, ships iteratively, and treats product quality as a shared responsibility — not someone else's problem. I value clear communication, honest feedback, and building things I'd actually want to use.

Outside of my day job, I mentor developers, volunteer to help small businesses go digital, and explore emerging tech — from AI agents to design systems. If you're building something ambitious and need a senior engineer who ships, I'd love to hear about it.

My Expertise

Successfully delivered over 20 applications, leveraging a comprehensive skill set.
