Identity · Public SDK · Flagship Android app

Authentication infrastructure first. Consumer flows next.

Android engineering that started in CLEAR’s public authentication SDK and continued inside the flagship application’s camera, scanning, and modernization work.

Identity flows have a very small tolerance for failure.

Public authentication infrastructure has to integrate cleanly into other applications, while the flagship consumer app must make camera and scanning flows feel reliable and direct. The work crossed both layers of that experience.

Experience on both sides of the SDK boundary.

I worked first on CLEAR’s public authentication SDK and later joined the flagship Android application. That progression brought the integration contract and the consumer experience into the same engineering context.

Inside the flagship app, I improved camera and scanning flows and contributed to modernization and technical-debt reduction.

  • Android
  • Kotlin
  • Public SDK
  • Authentication
  • Camera
  • Scanning
  • Legacy modernization

Infrastructure knowledge carried into user-facing delivery.

The result combined SDK-level authentication experience with improvements to high-stakes consumer flows and an approximately 30% reduction in technical debt.
