About Event

Welcome to Workshop Wednesday, hosted by the Mentor Me Collective! 🚀

In this step-by-step technical masterclass, we are joined by Anel Calvo, an expert Mobile Engineer, to dive into one of the most powerful and efficient frameworks in modern app development.

Today’s Topic: Building a Mobile App with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)

Want to build cross-platform apps without losing the performance and look of a native user interface? Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) simplifies mobile development by allowing you to share your core application logic—like networking, data storage, and business rules—between iOS and Android, while writing platform-specific code only when you need to interface with native APIs or build a custom native UI.

In this beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop, Anel breaks down the foundational building blocks of KMP. You'll learn how to eliminate feature lag across platforms, maximize code reuse, and implement KMP incrementally into existing legacy apps without risking a full codebase rewrite.

Whether you are a beginner developer, a traditional Android engineer looking to expand into iOS, or an iOS dev curious about shared logic, this workshop provides a practical roadmap to cross-platform success.
