STAR Summary

Situation
The website works on phones, but I wanted faster access to projects and useful tools in a familiar Android interface.
Task
Build an Android companion that keeps the portfolio easy to explore while offering useful native features and a reliable update path.
Action
  • Built navigation, search, bookmarks, settings, and selected tools in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
  • Added offline project summaries and native alternatives while keeping first-party website case studies, demos, and games available in the app.
  • Published a review APK through a versioned feed that identifies the approved file and supports verified in-app updates.
Result
  • An installable Android review build supports Android 8 and newer.
  • Published project content can refresh from the website feed; changes to native code arrive through a signed app update.
