Building Wave Progress Bar with Jetpack Compose
TLDR I created a customizable wave progress bar using Jetpack Compose, as shown below. You can view the code on Github.

Google Interview Experience - SDE-3 (L4)
Backstory I never imagined that I would be writing this blog post in 2024, especially after joining Amazon earlier in the year (read more about it here). However, sometimes we can’t control where life takes us. I spent 5 months working at Amazon this year, and my experience was both remarkable and memorable.

I had the opportunity to work on an internal product called Amazon Enterprise Access (AEA), which allows Amazonians to securely access corporate resources from their personal Android and iOS devices....

Migrating existing SQLite implementation to Room
Room is a persistence library introduce by Google in this year I/0. Room makes it extremely easy to work with SQLite in your android application and worth giving a shot if you are using SQLiteOpenHelper as of now for handling data in your app. Migrating your current implementation to Room is, surprisingly, very easy.
