What we do

DigitalJet takes full care of your Android and Kotlin Multiplatform apps so your team doesn’t have to hire, manage, or worry about mobile development. We work with companies that already have a product and need: long-term stability, predictable delivery and senior technical ownership. Delivered from Nearshore Europe with an EU-friendly time zone.

Who this is for

DigitalJet is a good fit if:
  • You already have an Android app in production
  • Android is important, but not your core business
  • You don’t want to hire or expand an internal mobile team
  • You need predictable delivery and long-term stability
  • You want senior technical responsibility
  • Want a nearshore partner aligned with EU/UK/US teams

Who this is not for

DigitalJet is not a good fit if:
  • You’re looking for the cheapest possible development
  • You need a large team or rapid headcount scaling
  • You want hourly freelancers or short-term task execution
  • You’re still validating an idea or building an MVP without a clear path to production

How it works

1. Technical onboarding & alignment

We start with a short onboarding phase to understand your Android app, codebase, and priorities.

This includes: reviewing the existing Android project, understanding current pain points and goals, aligning on scope, expectations, and communication.

Onboarding typically takes a few business days, depending on access and documentation.

2. Ongoing Android app care

Once onboarded, DigitalJet takes full technical care of your Android app.

This means: maintaining and improving the codebase, delivering features from an agreed backlog, fixing bugs and stability issues, managing releases and Play Store updates.

You work with one accountable senior engineer, not a rotating team.

3. Predictable delivery & continuity

Work is delivered continuously within a fixed monthly retainer.

You get: predictable delivery without time tracking, clear priorities and steady progress, long-term stability without hiring risk, the ability to pause or end the engagement with notice.

All source code, documentation, and deliverables remain fully owned by you.

What you get

Android App Management

End-to-end management for your Android app, including maintenance, features, and releases.

Predictable Monthly Retainer

You get a fixed monthly retainer with no hourly tracking and no surprise invoices.

Stability without hiring risk

You get the outcome of a senior Android hire without: recruitment delays, onboarding time, payroll and retention risk.


Fast, Structured Onboarding

You’re onboarded in days, not months. We focus on understanding your existing codebase quickly and starting delivery without long ramp-up periods.

100% Code & IP Ownership

You own all source code. No proprietary frameworks. No lock-in. Your app is always ready for future internal or external teams.

EU-aligned collaboration

You work with a nearshore partner in an EU-friendly time zone, with clear communication and professional delivery standards.

How we help

Build and evolve Android apps

We deliver new features and improvements aligned with your product roadmap.

Apply Kotlin Multiplatform where it makes sense

We introduce shared code only when it reduces complexity and long-term cost.

Keep apps reliable and up to date

We handle maintenance, OS updates, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

Improve existing codebases

We refactor incrementally to improve readability, maintainability, and scalability.

Handle releases and mobile delivery

We manage builds, releases, and Play Store updates so your team doesn’t have to.

Provide technical guidance

We help you make sound technical decisions without overengineering.

Outsource Android App Management

Building and maintaining an internal Android team requires time, coordination, and ongoing investment - even when Android is not a core business function.

DigitalJet provides outsourced Android app management, led by a senior engineer who takes long-term responsibility for delivery, stability, and technical direction.

Instead of managing multiple contributors or frequent handovers, you work with:

  • One accountable Android owner
  • Predictable monthly engagement
  • Senior-level architectural decisions
  • Continuity without internal headcount growth

This model suits organizations that need reliable Android expertise over time, without the overhead of building and managing an in-house mobile team.

Taking over and modernizing existing Android apps

Many teams come to DigitalJet when their Android app has become difficult to maintain, slow to evolve, or risky to extend.

Over time, Android codebases often accumulate technical debt - outdated patterns, inconsistent architecture, or legacy decisions that make even small changes expensive. We step in to stabilize the app, restore clarity, and modernize it incrementally, without disrupting day-to-day business operations.

Modernization is handled as part of an ongoing Android app management engagement, not as a one-off rewrite.

What modernization typically includes:

  • Java → Kotlin migration: Improving safety, readability, and long-term maintainability while reducing bugs and boilerplate.
  • Gradual adoption of Jetpack Compose: Modern UI development introduced where it makes sense, without forcing risky full rewrites.
  • Architecture and codebase improvements: Clarifying responsibilities, improving structure, and making the app easier to reason about and extend.
  • Performance and stability improvements: Identifying bottlenecks, reducing crashes, and improving overall app reliability.
  • UX refinements aligned with modern Android standards: Small, focused improvements that enhance usability without disrupting existing users.

About the Founder

I’m Mende, a senior Android engineer and the founder of DigitalJet.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked on Android applications used by real customers across different industries, including work for companies such as Rumble, Torkhub, and ReadyEducation.

My focus is not just building features, but owning Android apps end-to-end, ensuring they remain stable, maintainable, and aligned with business goals over time. I’ve worked across the full lifecycle of mobile products: from taking over existing codebases, to improving architecture, shipping updates, and supporting apps long after launch.

I work closely with product and engineering teams, acting as a single accountable owner for Android delivery. This means clear priorities, predictable execution, and technical decisions made with long-term impact in mind.

Clear communication and transparency are central to how I work. Stakeholders always know what’s being worked on, what’s coming next, and why certain trade-offs are made.

DigitalJet exists to give teams senior Android leadership and accountability without the cost, risk, or overhead of hiring, so they can focus on their core business while mobile is handled responsibly.

DigitalJet works with a limited number of clients to ensure consistent delivery and quality.
