Usually replies within 24 hoursWhat clients get
A senior Android partner for product work that needs real ownership.
Build and modernize
Create new Android apps or upgrade legacy Java/XML code into maintainable Kotlin and Compose.
Rescue work
Stabilize slow, crashy, or half-finished apps and turn them into shippable products.
Best-fit clients
I work best with teams that want Android done properly.
The best projects are clear, collaborative, and product-minded. If you already have an iOS app, designs, APIs, or a real user problem, I can help turn that into a strong Android experience.
You have an iOS app that needs Android
Perfect if your iOS product is live or designed and you need Android feature parity with native UX.
You need senior ownership
A good fit when you want someone who can clarify scope, make decisions, and move without hand-holding.
You care about a shippable product
I’m strongest on apps that need clean architecture, smooth UX, testing, release work, and reliability.
You can collaborate clearly
Great projects have access to designs, APIs, existing code, decision makers, and a realistic timeline.
Services
Android help for the moments where senior experience matters.
These are the project types I want more of: clear business need, real product pressure, and enough ownership to make the Android app genuinely strong.
Core specialty
01
iOS-to-Android app build
Recreate your existing iOS app as a native Android product with feature parity, Android-first UX, Kotlin architecture, API integration, testing, and release support.
- Best for live iOS apps, funded MVPs, or finished designs
- Includes Android UX decisions, edge cases, and Play Store readiness
New build
02
Android MVP development
Build a focused Android app from product requirements, designs, APIs, Firebase, or a working prototype.
- Useful for founders and product teams shipping a first Android version
- Clean structure, realistic milestones, and launch-minded implementation
Fix and improve
03
App rescue and modernization
Stabilize slow, buggy, or half-finished Android apps and modernize legacy Java/XML screens when needed.
- Good for inherited codebases, failed handoffs, and urgent product issues
- Can include Compose migration, crash fixes, performance, and release cleanup

iOS to Android specialist
When the iOS app already works, Android needs more than a copy.
My job is to preserve the product value while making the Android version feel native, reliable, and ready for Play Store users. That means matching core behavior, adapting interaction patterns, and building with Android constraints in mind.
Feature parity mapping
Android-first UX decisions
Kotlin and Compose architecture
API, Firebase, testing, release
Map the iOS product
Identify the screens, flows, states, permissions, payments, notifications, edge cases, and launch scope.
Adapt for Android
Keep product parity where it matters and adjust navigation, system behavior, gestures, and UI patterns.
Build and release
Implement the Android app, integrate APIs, test critical flows, prepare release builds, and support launch.
Project-size guidance
Clear scope first, then a practical estimate.
I do not guess serious project pricing from one vague message. A short project review helps define the Android scope, risks, timeline, and the right engagement size.
Review, fix, or release support
Best for bug fixing, Play Store issues, Firebase/API problems, crash cleanup, or code review.
- Crash or build issue
- Play Store release help
- Architecture or code review
Feature build or modernization
Best for Compose migration, new screens, refactors, performance work, or rescuing a stuck app.
- New feature module
- Legacy Java/XML cleanup
- Performance and reliability pass
Full Android app from iOS or designs
Best for turning a live iOS app, Figma design, or funded MVP into a native Android product.
- iOS-to-Android build
- Android MVP from designs
- End-to-end app rebuild
Selected Android work
Real apps, real screens, and client problems I helped solve.
A client should not need to open every link to understand the work. These project cards use screenshots from my portfolio first, then Play Store links as supporting proof.
Sign Studio
Built the Android version of an existing iOS app for deaf communication training. The app uses camera capture and Google Cloud Vision to help users learn how to describe real objects visually.
- iOS-to-Android product parity
- Camera and image analysis flow
- Client-ready Android release
HH-DM Tyre Management
Developed a barcode workflow for Formula 1 tyre and rim management, replacing slow manual entry with scan-and-submit field operations.
- Barcode scanning
- Database-backed records
- Under 10-second workflow
Speedometer GPS HUD Odometer
Improved a GPS speedometer and odometer app with stability fixes, monetization, Firebase custom events, and subscription logic refinements.
- AdMob monetization
- Firebase analytics
- Subscription flow cleanup
Translate: Photo, Voice, Text
Added camera-based text extraction and improved translation performance for a multilingual translator app built around fast, everyday user workflows.
- Google Vision API
- Google Translate API v2
- Bug fixing and polish
AuthOne
Built core Android features for a two-factor authentication app, including OTP/TOTP flows, offline use, passcode protection, cloud backup, monetization, and analytics.
- OTP/TOTP generation
- Cloud backup and sync
- Analytics and ads
AxNegar
Developed a typography and poster design Android app for creating social content, banners, and advertising visuals quickly from a mobile workflow.
- Image editing workflow
- Template-style creation
- Public Android release

About Danyel
I’m an Android developer who likes turning unclear mobile work into shippable apps.
I’m Danyel Sheykhleh, a senior Android developer with 8+ years of experience and 40+ delivered projects. My strongest work is helping teams bring an existing iOS product to Android, stabilize inherited codebases, and ship Kotlin/Compose apps with fewer surprises.
Clients usually come to me when they need someone who can understand the product, ask the right questions, communicate clearly, and own the Android side from scope to release.
Trust and process
A calm delivery process for Android work that cannot be messy.
Clients do not just hire code. They hire judgment, communication, risk control, and a developer who keeps the Android project moving.
1
Audit
Understand the goal, current app state, iOS reference, designs, APIs, risks, and release needs.
2
Scope
Turn the project into milestones, priorities, assumptions, and practical technical decisions.
3
Build
Develop the Android app, integrate APIs, handle edge cases, and share steady progress updates.
4
Ship
Test, polish, prepare release builds, support launch, and document the important handoff details.
What good clients can expect
- Clear questions before implementation starts
- Milestone-based progress instead of vague status updates
- Android-first decisions when copying iOS behavior would hurt UX
- Attention to release details, crashes, edge cases, and handoff
What I need from you
The right inputs make the Android estimate sharper.
You do not need perfect documentation. But the more context you share, the faster I can identify risks, project size, and the right first milestone.
iOS app link, TestFlight access, Figma design, prototype, screenshots, or product walkthrough.
API docs, test account, Firebase details, existing Android repo, backend status, and release constraints.
Must-have features, nice-to-have features, deadline, budget range, launch expectations, and known risks.
FAQ
Questions good clients usually ask before Android work starts.
Can you rebuild an existing iOS app for Android?
Yes. The best starting point is a live iOS app, Figma designs, API documentation, and clarity on which features need Android parity for the first release.
Can you work with an existing Android codebase?
Yes. I can review, stabilize, modernize, migrate screens to Compose, fix release blockers, or help decide whether a rebuild is more practical than extending the current code.
Do you copy iOS screens exactly?
I match product intent and important behavior, but Android should still feel native. Some navigation, permissions, gestures, and system patterns need Android-first decisions.
Can you help with Play Store release?
Yes. I can support release builds, QA checks, signing readiness, store blockers, and the technical cleanup needed before launch.
How do we start?
Send the current project state, useful links, project type, timeline, and biggest risks through the project review form. I will reply with the next practical step.
