Some more background

• Extensive experience working as a hands-on software engineer on mobile, desktop, server and embedded applicaitons.
• Developing primarily for Android, along with some iOS development, since 2010 (using Kotlin since 2017).
• Keenly interested in Kotlin Multiplatform and, in particular, when combined with use of Declarative UI frameworks like Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI! Have given a number of talks and written various articles on the topic over last 5 years (johnoreilly.dev). Have also created a number of related samples/templates. A number of these are included in the official Kotlin KMP docs and also the Google Dev Library. A number of the other Kotlin Multiplatform samples are also referenced in the docs of the libraries that they showcase.
