Worked on optimizing the startup performance of expo-modules within the expo/expo repository by addressing latency issues caused by Kotlin reflection. Refactored class relationship checks, replacing the use of isSubclassOf with isAssignableFrom, which reduced reliance on reflection and improved startup speed. This change enhanced perceived app performance and contributed to a smoother onboarding experience by lowering startup overhead. The work involved performance profiling, code refactoring, and deep familiarity with Kotlin and Java in a large-scale Android codebase. Focused on practical performance optimization, the approach demonstrated an ability to identify bottlenecks and implement targeted solutions in production environments.
