One of the features which many supporters of the Education Ecosystem project are looking forward to is the Android app. Once the first product, online education platform LiveEdu is completed it will be accompanied by an Android app. Through this app persons will be able to watch project videos and learn on the go. To help complete this app, as well as develop other mobile apps, we’ve hired David Knyaz as our Senior Android Developer. Here is an interview with David where he tells us about his background and the work he’s doing for the ecosystem.

1) Tell us about your background.

In my previous job I was a Senior Android Developer at Together Networks. I have over 5 years experience using Android, both working with different companies and working on my own projects. I also have a lot of experience with Java but for the last 5 years my focus has been on Android.

2) What made you want to join Education Ecosystem?

When the recruiter contacted me about the open position I was very interested as I was eager for a new experience. During the interview with Michael and another Android developer I got a better understanding of what the company was doing and managed to impress them.

I was excited about a few things. This was a chance for me to be involved in a project from scratch. I would be able to run things end to end how I saw fit and as the team grows I could lead my own team of android developers. The fact that the company worked with blockchain and video streaming, two technologies I was particularly interested in, was exciting from the technical point of view. From a personal point of view working with an international company was intriguing as it would provide me with a chance to practice my English.

3) What is your job?

I’m the Senior Android Developer. I’ll be responsible for developing native Android applications for the company. The first task for me will be becoming familiar with the entire project and ensuring that any work I do aligns with the business ideas of the company. This will involve constant communication with the backend development and design teams.

4) What are you working on right now?

I’ve started with defining the project and creating necessary repositories and setting up the project on my local machine for easier access. My next steps will be gaining access to the GitHub repository and setting up the workspace. I’ve been speaking with the backend developers and by working with them we’ll decide what will be required for the app and how we would be able to integrate. After that there will be some quality assurance testing done.

5) After that what other projects will you be working on?

Once I’ve completed the mobile app then the next step will be writing documentation for the API. I’ll also be helping other incoming mobile app developers understand the project. For instance, there will be similarities between the Android app and the iOS app.

6) How will your role help the Ecosystem?

I think my role will help the ecosystem due my vast experience and the number of other projects which I’ve worked on. Using my experience I’ll help the team to build the best project they can using modern technologies.
