Worked on the session-foundation/session-android repository, focusing on enhancing group chat reliability and message retention in Android. Delivered a feature that improved disappearing messages by extending the Recipient data model with fields for admin status and participant state, using Kotlin and the Repository Pattern to ensure accurate UI behavior and robust state management. Addressed a critical bug affecting New To Session message retention in hidden conversations, implementing database management techniques to prevent accidental data loss. Emphasized unit testing and ViewModel integration throughout, resulting in improved data integrity, reduced edge-case failures, and a more consistent user experience across group and hidden chat scenarios.
