What makes these work

  1. Kotlin and Compose first

    These are the words in most current Android job posts. Put them at the start so they show in the preview line.

  2. Store numbers

    Downloads, ratings and crash rates are public or easy to check, so they make claims believable.

  3. Say how you work

    Architecture words like MVVM and Hilt tell a hiring lead how you structure code, in two or three words.
