John Kenedy | Make This Work - Invidious

John Kenedy | Make This Work

Engineering notes from inside the Android source. Deep dives on Jetpack Compose, Kotlin Multiplatform, and the architecture decisions that survive contact with production.

I'm John Kenedy, a Senior Mobile Engineer with 6+ years shipping Android at scale — financial features for Latin America's largest banks, and Kotlin Multiplatform from scratch.

This isn't another "here is a Column" tutorial channel. It's the layer underneath: the slot table, recomposition scopes, module boundaries that hold at forty engineers, and how to read a trace instead of guessing.

Series:
→ Line by Line — one real API, read closely
→ System Design — mobile system design, defended out loud
→ AI First — shipping a real KMP app with coding agents
→ What problem do you have? — send yours, I solve it on camera

→ Mentorship (limited spots): makethiswork.dev/mentorship
→ Written notes: makethiswork.dev
→ Code: github.com/johnkenedy
