React Native Developer — Healthcare Dating App MVP

React Native Developer Needed — Healthcare Dating App (StatDate) I'm a Registered Nurse with 13 years of ICU and PACU experience building StatDate — a dating app exclusively for verified healthcare professionals and EMS personnel. Think Tinder, but every user is checked against a national license database before they can interact with anyone. No impostors. No civilians. The concept is validated, the brand is built, the domain is live (statdate.com), and a full interactive prototype exists. I have a complete 40-page technical specification ready to hand off on day one. I need a developer to build the real thing.
