I build Android apps that feel fast, fluid and native — from the first frame to the millionth install.
I'm Janne Heinonen, an Android developer based in Seinäjoki, Finland. For the past eight years I've been shipping Kotlin apps for startups and established product teams: consumer apps, field-service tools and connected-device companions that people rely on every day.
My focus is clean architecture, Jetpack Compose UIs that stay smooth at 120 Hz, and offline-first data layers that survive real-world networks. I care about cold-start times, accessibility and test coverage as much as pixel polish, and I enjoy mentoring teammates through code reviews and pairing.
