I’m an experienced Mobile Engineer & Team Lead with 11+ years of expertise in Android and iOS development, delivering apps that have reached millions of users worldwide. Over the years, I’ve built, scaled, and maintained enterprise-grade apps as well as specialized custom solutions, with a strong focus on performance, clean architecture, and modern mobile best practices. What I Do Best: Mobile Development (Android & iOS) – Expert in Android (Kotlin/Java) and experienced in iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), building high-quality, production-ready applications across both platforms. Strong knowledge of Jetpack, coroutines, Hilt/Dagger, Room, Navigation, RxJava, Firebase, and App Store / Play Store guidelines. App Architecture & Performance – Scalable MVVM/MVI architectures, optimized UI patterns (RecyclerView, ViewPager2), efficient state management, robust caching, and offline-first strategies. Authentication & Security – OAuth2, token refresh flows, secure storage, deep linking (Branch), push notifications (FCM/APNs), and analytics integrations (MoEngage, Firebase). Team Leadership – Currently serving as Engineering Lead (Mobile), mentoring developers, driving architecture decisions, and ensuring delivery under tight timelines. What You Can Expect: ✔️ Fast & reliable delivery – I prioritize hitting deadlines without compromising quality. ✔️ Clear communication – Regular updates, proactive suggestions, and collaborative problem-solving. ✔️ Long-term value – I don’t just build apps; I help you plan for scale, stability, and future growth. ✔️ Hands-on expertise – Whether fixing urgent production crashes, building new features, or leading full app development, I take ownership until the job is done right.

I architect, develop & deploy production-grade full-stack software platforms, MVPs, multi-tenant AI-native SaaS products, cross-platform web/mobile/desktop applications, and data-intensive backend systems for startups and enterprises across regulated industries. I’m [expert-vetted] Senior Full Stack Developer (AI Architect) with 'traceable performance records' across Fortune 500 enterprises & startups covering: system architecture, full-stack development, AI integration, database design, API development, cloud deployment, production launch, and ongoing O&M support. I’ve delivered numerous custom software platforms, products, and applications, including AI platforms, SaaS products, MVPs, web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications, subscription-based AI SaaS platforms, and enterprise-grade software systems. I usually step in at the stages that matter most: functional mapping, infrastructure and architecture setup, MVP delivery, feature expansion, system modernization, data migration, AI integration, performance optimization, cloud deployment, production launch, and ongoing support. My work usually starts with one of four business problems: building an MVP from scratch, scaling a product that has found traction, modernizing a legacy platform, or integrating AI into an existing system without disrupting core operations. From there, I design the right path across product architecture, data architecture, integrations, infrastructure, testing/UAT & production rollout. I’ve delivered standalone & API based single-tenant/multi-tenant systems, including production-grade AI-native SaaS platforms, LMS, CRM, ERP, payment platform, marketplace, portals, workflow/business process automation platforms, EMR/EHR/RCM-enabled healthcare products. It’s not just about shipping features, but about designing and building systems with strong maintainability, reliability, availability, scalability, observability, tenant isolation, compliance controls, operational efficiency, and cost-aware infrastructure. On the application side, I work with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Python, FastAPI, Golang, Java Spring Boot, React Native, Flutter, Kotlin, Swift, and Electron. On the backend and integration side, I build REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC services, middleware, webhooks, secure integration gateways, background workers, BullMQ-driven job pipelines, event-driven systems, and distributed services. I use Golang where high concurrency and performance matter, and Java Spring Boot where enterprise-grade backend services and integrations are the right fit. On the data and platform side, I’ve designed PostgreSQL-based transactional systems, Supabase backends, pgvector-powered retrieval layers, Redis-backed caching and queue patterns, ETL/ELT pipelines, audit-ready reporting, migration plans, semantic search, and AI-native data foundations. I build on AWS/Azure/GCP, and I design cloud-native platforms across serverless, Kubernetes, multi-cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, alerting, centralized logging, and observability. With the rise of LLMs, I’ve delivered production AI systems involving advanced RAG, AI automation, AI agents, agentic workflows, multi-agent systems, LangGraph orchestration, MCP integrations, AI voice, computer vision, OCR, model fine-tuning, real-time streams, and business-system integrations. I also work with Vapi, Twilio, and Deepgram when voice, telephony, or real-time communication is part of the product. Where AI needs to operate safely in production, I design deterministic orchestration patterns, evaluation layers, and hallucination-minimization approaches around the workflow, not just the model. I also build for regulated and operationally sensitive environments. That includes HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, HL7/FHIR, PCI-aware payment flows, KYC/AML workflows, OAuth2, JWT, RBAC/ABAC, audit logs, secure access controls, and healthcare interoperability pipelines. I’m especially relevant where software, data, integrations, compliance, and monetization meet: HealthTech, FinTech/payments, LegalTech, logistics and supply chain, PropTech, B2B marketplaces, InsurTech, ConstructionTech, cybersecurity, compliance & Web3/blockchain platforms. Beyond implementation, I provide technical consultation for product design, system architecture, data architecture, integration strategy, infrastructure planning, modernization, and GTM strategies for diverse business verticals and markets. With a 100% track record of delivering projects on time, my credo is to exceed client expectations by focusing on the last 20% (attention to detail) which yields 80% of the results. Whether you're looking for a skilled development partner proficient in the latest technologies, tools, frameworks, or libraries or an experienced technical consultant to modernize legacy systems or develop a cutting-edge platform from scratch, feel free to reach out!!

I have been Mobile App and Backend Web Developer for more than 9 years. During me past 4 years I have been engaged directly with client to consult/understand requirements before begin to develop. Kickoff meetings and their technical translations have been key to solid estimation of my projects. Each project is unique just like each person is different and it requires many perspectives to get to exactly what my clients want and I believe I have been very successful at doing this. As a developer I like to provide the simplest solution for the most complex problems. I strive for best innovation and digitization while providing industry-leading solutions. I always try to utilize development 'frameworks' to get to best possible functionality that is possible globally. My goal is to provide challenges for me and come out at the top with proper quality assurances frequently in between the process. I hope I could help out every client I get. I am an experienced Web & Mobile Application developer with more the 9 years of working experience. Together with mobile app I also happen to know the development of backend server services like Website, Web Service APIs, Dashboards, Admin Panels, Payment Integration etc. I have been developing apps using IntelliJ IDEA, VS Code, Android Studio, XCode, MS Visual Studio and Eclipse. ➡️ Command on Programming Languages: → Python → C# → Java → Kotlin → JavaScript → React, Typescript, Angular, Vue, Node → XML → Swift ➡️ Command on Software Tools → Android Studio → IntelliJ IDEA → VS Code → Git and GitHub → Postman → Visual Studio Code → XCode → Eclipse → MS Visual Studio ➡️ Web & Mobile App Development Skills → Firebase Services → Google Maps → GPS Location → SQLite and Realm → Push Notifications → UI/UX development → Google Ads Integration → RESTful APIs → All Social Media account authentication → In App Purchase → Offline support → QR code and Barcode scanning → Third party API integration → Background services → Tracking location
