I've started my Android journey back in 2015 with the discovery of Android Custom ROMs for my legacy device collection. Starting with a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, my motivation was to maintain and learn more about Android at operating system level. I've supported many custom ROM distributions and maintained over 15 devices.
My next step was to found my own custom ROM distribution "PixelBuilds" in 2023 and support my Google Pixel device collection with my own flavour of Android 14, with the latest security patches.
In the meantime, I've ventured across the sea to deliver talks at different conferences around the region and share my work and findings with other developers in conferences like droidcon Berlin, droidcon London, AndroidMakers by droidcon and even AndroidWorldwide.
Locally, I've founded the first ever Google Developer Student Clubs in Malta, and helped organise events, workshops, hackathons and conferences as a GDG Malta organiser, to share my knowledge and expertise with a local and vibrant developer community.
During the development of my Final Year Project at the University of Malta for my undergraduate degree, I built an Internet of Things-enabled Greenhouse system from a wireless sensor network using an ESP32-S3, a number of sensors and LoRa. This project displays real-time data on an Astro-built website, and a Jetpack Compose built Android app. Additionally, this project also includes image processing leaf health detection prototype.
