Android Engineering.
Built to last.
FangJet is the independent work of Colin Tucker — a senior Android engineer with a long software engineering background and hands-on experience shipping production mobile apps used by millions, along with enterprise software deployed globally.
I build and modernize Android applications using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, clean architecture, CI/CD, and practical production engineering. My work focuses on apps that are reliable, maintainable, accessible, and ready for real-world use across a wide range of devices.
I have over 20 years of software engineering experience, including large-scale Android apps used on millions of devices, real-time communication systems, carrier and OEM integrations, accessibility-focused mobile experiences, and build/release workflow improvements.
Production at Scale
Shipped carrier-branded Android apps to millions of devices across AT&T, Cricket, and regional OEM partners. Improved app startup 50%, build times 35%. CI/CD pipelines that hold up under real-world pressure.
Modern Android
Kotlin-first. Jetpack Compose, MVVM/Clean architecture, Hilt dependency injection, Coroutines, Firebase. Codebases new engineers can read, understand, and own.
Reliable Releases
Feature flags, crash reporting, controlled rollout, and post-release iteration built into the workflow. Observability from day one. Less drama on launch day.
AI-Assisted Development
I use AI tools such as Claude Code and Gemini as part of a practical engineering workflow: exploring architecture, accelerating implementation, generating tests, analyzing logs, improving documentation, and prototyping faster while keeping careful engineering review in the loop.
