Who am I?
I'm Arun Aditya, Android Framework & Platform Engineer
I'm an Android Framework & Platform Engineer with 5.6 years of experience, currently at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India — the largest R&D centre for the Mercedes-Benz Group AG outside Germany. I work on the infotainment platform and productivity apps (calendar, meetings, email) with deep expertise in AOSP, AIDL, Binder IPC, HAL, and system service development. On the side, I build independent hardware-to-UI projects on Raspberry Pi 5 and share everything I learn through technical articles on Medium (1M+ reads) and my YouTube channel Silicon to System. I have 18k+ followers on LinkedIn and believe in learning in public.
