Software Engineer at Google working on the Android Toolkit team.
I built Warp — an open-source implementation of morph transitions (magic move in Keynote) for code blocks from the ground up! github.com/tikurahul/warp Lots of interesting algorithms along the way.
I will be speaking at Android Makers about the internals of the androidx.tracing library and how benchmark driven development ensures low overhead tracing. If you like tracing, profilers and benchmarks - this talk is for you! androidmakers.droidcon.com/2026/rahul-r...
There is a pretty visible shift in frame durations after this change. Here is an example with one of the Compose Hero benchmarks.
I will be presenting at Droidcon London this year to talk about Tracing, and Perfetto ! If you are interested in Perfetto, or App performance in general - this talk is for you. If you would like me to cover something specific, please let me know and I promise to try.
My ex-Apple colleague used Nano Banana with the prompt: "Restore the person in the photo into the Apple Ecosystem".
I also love (and perhaps a bit obsessed) with baking 🍞 and playing badminton 🏸.
