Over time, I built up and grew the Android function, hiring and managing a team of 10 Android Engineers, being a technical lead for Android and Mobile, and introducing required process to help the business scale as needed and mentoring engineers. My role eventuated in a combination of Engineering Manager and Staff Engineer / Technical Lead
