Capabilities

What a Kotlin Developer Builds for Your Business

Kotlin's range has grown significantly beyond Android — though native Android remains its most common use case by far.

📱

Native Android Applications

Pixel-perfect, performant Android apps using Jetpack Compose — the modern declarative UI toolkit that Google actively promotes for all new Android development.

🔀

Kotlin Multiplatform Apps

Shared business logic between Android and iOS — repositories, use cases, network layer, and data models written once in Kotlin, with native UI on each platform.

🏗️

Android Architecture

MVVM and MVI architecture with proper separation of concerns — ViewModel, Repository pattern, Use Cases, and dependency injection that keeps Android apps testable.

🔌

Ktor Backend APIs

Server-side Kotlin with Ktor — building the REST APIs that serve Android clients, with Kotlin coroutines for efficient async I/O.

Coroutines & Flow

Kotlin's built-in async programming primitives for concurrent work and reactive data streams throughout the application architecture.

🔄

Java → Kotlin Migration

Migrating legacy Java Android codebases to Kotlin incrementally — taking advantage of null safety, concise syntax, and coroutines without rewriting everything at once.

Context

Should I Hire a Kotlin Developer or a Java Developer for Android?

For new Android development, the answer is Kotlin — unambiguously. Google made Kotlin the preferred Android language in 2019 and all new Jetpack APIs are Kotlin-first.

Kotlin isn't just a nicer Java for Android. Coroutines and Flow are a fundamentally better way to handle Android's async requirements. Once you've used them, you don't go back.

Java is the right choice only when maintaining a legacy Java Android codebase where converting to Kotlin would require significant rework. Even then, Kotlin and Java are fully interoperable.

For Kotlin Multiplatform: KMP is now stable and increasingly production-ready. Companies including Netflix, VMware, and Philips use it in production.

Client Feedback

What Clients Say After Hiring Kotlin Developers Through GetDeveloper

★★★★★
"Our Android app was written in Java and was becoming impossible to maintain. The Kotlin developer GetDeveloper placed migrated us module by module over five months — keeping the app shipping throughout. We're now at 100% Kotlin and the codebase is unrecognisably cleaner."
JK
Jay K.
CTO, Consumer App (500k+ Downloads)
★★★★★
"We needed a KMP developer — not just an Android developer who had read the docs. GetDeveloper found one who had shipped a KMP project to production. The shared codebase between our Android and iOS apps has already reduced feature development time by 40%."
AH
Alex H.
VP Engineering, Productivity SaaS
★★★★★
"Jetpack Compose knowledge that was actually deep — not just tutorial-level. Our developer immediately identified architectural issues in our existing Compose code and fixed them before they caused production problems."
