Kanav Wadhawan · Principal Android Platform Architect
I lead mobile engineering teams at tier-one fintechs, designing architectures that survive peak load, regulatory change, and real market stress—without compromising on craft.
Operating at the intersection of architecture, delivery, and regulation—shipping mobile experiences people trust with their money.
Head of Mobile · Fintech Orchestration
Owning the mobile architecture for multi-tenant banking experiences across Europe. Led rollout of high-availability card and account features with strict regulatory constraints.
Built and mentored distributed squads shipping on a weekly cadence without regressions.
Senior Mobile Engineer · Payments
Scaled core payments surfaces handling peak events with tens of thousands of transactions per second. Re-architected flows to be resilient to flaky networks and device variance.
Partnered with risk and product to ship compliant, high-conversion onboarding journeys.
Mobile Architect · Trading
Modernized trading app architecture to isolate risk, execution, and portfolio domains. Reduced cold-start times and improved perceived latency across critical trading paths.
Delivered incident-free market open handling while introducing advanced order types.
A bento of the disciplines I bring into complex mobile-first financial products.
Zero-leakage mindset: encrypted at rest and in transit, secure keystores, and hardened session lifecycles tuned for mobile.
KMS · Hardware-backed keystores · Biometric flows
Designing for graceful degradation, backpressure, and observability. Systems that fail softly instead of failing users.
SLOs · Tracing · Circuit breakers
Domain-driven mobile architectures that keep trading, payments, and identity independently evolvable yet coherent.
DDD · Clean architecture · Modularization
Reproducible, automated delivery from commit to app store. Guardrails without slowing down ambitious teams.
CI/CD · Release trains · Feature flags
If you're shipping regulated, high-stakes mobile experiences and need them to simply never go down, I'd love to talk.
Open to principal and staff roles in mobile platform and fintech.
“Kanav combines deep technical rigor with the ability to ship. He's the kind of architect who makes complex systems understandable and reliable.”
