Assistant Manager · Senior Mobile Engineer · Aug 2024 — Present
Focus: Analytics data collection — platform SDKs used by Rakuten mobile and web apps.

Tech: Android SDK, Gradle plugins, multi‑module projects, Jetpack Compose (Navigation), Coroutines / Flow, DataStore, App Startup, WorkManager, JobScheduler, CameraX, Bluetooth, Google Play Console (tracks / phased releases), adaptive & foldable UI, REST, macOS (Electron), Chrome extension, Docusaurus, GitHub Pages, Bitrise, Jenkins, Maven Central, Artifactory (see Skills for breadth)

• Deliver Analytics and Geofence SDK features, production fixes, and most of the team’s code reviews; support integrators and internal clients.
• Mentor Android engineers and support onboarding for most iOS joiners; maintain onboarding and security training materials.
• Act as Security Champion: primary contact for security questions and audits; lead CI/CD practices so repositories and artifacts stay audit‑ready year over year.
• Set up automated security scanning (Security CI on Jenkins + GitHub code scanning) across team repositories.
• Author Android security e‑learning for engineers company‑wide; contribute tech articles and how‑tos (newsletter, Discourse).
• Build a Gradle‑based code generator that turns JSON schemas into Kotlin SDK code, with sample apps for verification — cutting manual SDK boilerplate.
• Ship cross‑platform debugging tools: Chrome extension for web and macOS (Electron) app for mobile analytics workflows.
• Prototype Rakuten Assistant on Android (hotword + speech‑to‑text) for future assistant experiences.
• Own technical debt hygiene: drive ≥ two debt items per sprint to reduce long‑term risk.
• Run POCs (e.g. Algolia for a future search SDK); evaluate and communicate fit vs requirements.
• Publish Diataxis‑structured SDK docs to GitHub Pages via Docusaurus (from Markdown).
• Maintain schema tooling (creator scripts as source of truth for analytics specs) and a validator for spec documents (Confluence / CSV) against base JSON schema.
• Build AI‑assisted internal tools: code review against Rakuten guidelines and Jira context; skill content for SDK integration; automation that reads Android release notes and opens targeted GitHub issues for deprecations and security‑relevant changes.
• Lead privacy‑sensitive delivery: analytics privacy controls aligned with GDPR and APPI; automated generation of media tracking events from schema.
• Roadmap and sprint leadership: prioritize backlog, write tickets, align to annual roadmap; 1:1s with engineers for growth and unblocking.
• Initiated improvements to SDK documentation architecture and crash / error analytics capabilities.
