Aliaksei Pokaliuk | Senior Android Developer. Mission: Building robust, secure & scalable mobile apps for FinTech & IoT using modern Kotlin & Jetpack Compose.
### My Hobbies & Interests
When I am not inside Android Studio, I am usually exploring the things that spark my curiosity and keep me inspired:
• **Wearable Tech & EVs:** I am fascinated by wearable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs). In fact, my passion for modern smart devices and how they seamlessly connect with our lives is exactly what drew me into Android development in the first place.
• **Sci-Fi & Pop Culture:** I am a huge Star Wars fan. The epic world-building and technology in the franchise have always resonated with my inner engineer.
• **History & Travel:** I have a deep love for ancient Greek culture, its history, mythology, and philosophy. I find great inspiration in how their foundational ideas still shape our modern world.
• **Animal Lover:** I absolutely love cats and enjoy spending time with my feline friends to unwind after a long day of coding.
I bring the same energy, curiosity, and discipline to my clients' projects as I do to my personal life. Let’s build something great together!
