Miles Krell
Hi! 👋
I'm a mobile developer interested in doing good in the world. When I'm not focused on that, you can find me learning Spanish and vibing to soft electronic music.

Work
I'm currently at Lyft, where I'm responsible for an internal Android app used to manage Citi Bike, Divvy, Capital Bikeshare, Ecobici, and many other 🚲 and 🛴 systems around the world. I have a lot of fun at my job, but I'm always open to new adventures! If you have an opportunity you think I'd be interested in, feel free to shoot me a message.
What I've been listening to
Past projects
- Text Torch (texting stats app)
- inspired by xkcd #2065
- XBus (Rutgers
bus andbuilding app)- sadly, the bus part broke when Rutgers switched to a new passenger information system with no official public API
- back when everything worked, it was sick! source: trust me bro 😎
- Times via Text (text-based CTA bus times app)
- my first real passion project - the one that made me fall in love with mobile development
- don't look at the code! I was in high school ðŸ«
Present and future (i.e. things I like)
I'm still figuring out what I want to do with my life, you know? Learning Spanish has been pretty rewarding, so I plan to continue with that.
In terms of writing code outside of work, these days I'm less interested in starting new projects than I am in contributing to existing projects. Here are some projects and orgs I like, any of which I may get more involved with over time:
- Signal
- Firefox
- CalyxOS (or GrapheneOS if I start running that instead)
- Fediverse platforms like Mastodon and Matrix
- The Tor Project
- The Electronic Frontier Foundation
- DanceSafe
