Hiring a mobile app developer shouldn't feel like a gamble. Too many startups get halfway through an app and realize their developer hits a wall the moment things get unfamiliar โ€” a third-party SDK with poor documentation, real-time audio and video features, a production crash that nobody on the team can reproduce. That's where I thrive. I'm a React Native developer with 4+ years building scalable iOS and Android apps. I go native with Swift and Kotlin when needed, handle backend systems when required, and use AI-assisted workflows to ship faster without compromising code quality or production stability. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ โžœ Gymyg โ€” Live Virtual Fitness Platform Migrated video calling from web to React Native using Daily SDK, resolved production-level race conditions between local music playback and live VoIP streams, and handled native iOS audio session management to ensure stable real-time sessions. โ†’ Result: Significantly smoother experience than the web version, stable live group sessions tested with 20+ concurrent users, reduced crash rate in production โžœ Famiglia Doro โ€” Creator Marketplace & Events Platform Built from scratch โ€” developed a full e-commerce module with order management, coupon and discount logic, multi-state order handling, and Stripe Connect for multi-party payments between creators and the platform. โ†’ Result: Complete marketplace launched from zero, complex payment flows working reliably in production โžœ HBCUMADE โ€” Alumni Networking Platform Sole developer on a full social platform built from scratch โ€” integrated social auth and cross-platform sharing via Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter APIs, imported live events from Eventbrite and Posh, built live audio streaming with Agora, and developed a complete event management and ticketing system with Stripe Connect. โ†’ Result: A fully functioning community platform with live events, third-party ecosystem integrations, and real-time features โ€” delivered end to end by one developer ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ Cross-platform iOS and Android apps using Expo and React Native CLI โ€” built with clean architecture and production stability in mind, not just to demo well. ๐—™๐˜‚๐—น๐—น-๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ ๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ When your app needs a backend too, I handle both.
