Hi, I’m Victor Shutemov,

I am an Android and iOS Applications Developer with 9 years of experience of mobile development, including building apps and games for Android, iOS and many other mobile platforms.
Currently working in Gothenburg at CEVT, building Android-based infotainment system for Lynk&Co brand cars.
Before that, I’ve been independently working on compact multi-platform 3D game engine, and a number of games powered by it, mobilizing C++, OpenGL-ES 2.0, and lots of CPU and memory profiling. Even earlier, I’ve had lots of experience building mobile apps based on Java, Objective-C, C#, Qt, VB and JavaScript for finances and education.

I’m interested in mobile development and my curiosity stretches from hardware up to the cloud services, and I’ve done some work everywhere in between.
