About Me

I’m Jessica Randall, a pragmatic Android Developer specializing in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. With experience at Mentorist and years of self-driven learning, I focus on building clean, maintainable, and scalable apps. I tackle real-world problems and work well within collaborative teams to deliver practical solutions.

I’ve served as Tech Lead, mentored junior developers, and contributed to a wide range of projects. As a Women TechMaker Ambassador, I mentor women in tech, organize GDG Cape Town events, and speak at conferences like Droidcon Lisbon and Droidcon Kenya. My MSc in Mathematical Science shapes my structured approach to problem-solving while keeping me hands-on with development.

Let’s connect if you're looking for a pragmatic developer who focuses on real-world, scalable solutions.

• “Airports are my second office”—8 countries deep, blending tech with global perspectives.

I thrive in collaborative environments—mentoring junior devs, reviewing PRs, and turning designs into smooth UIs. Let’s chat if you need a problem-solver who codes and communicates well.
