What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can ship production-grade mobile apps (React Native) end-to-end—owning both UI and backend—and keep improving performance and CI/CD with clear impact and fast learning.

I’m a Mobile & Full-Stack Developer with 2+ years of hands-on React Native experience shipping, maintaining, and optimizing production iOS & Android apps end-to-end. I’m strong in feature development, performance optimization, REST API integration, and CI/CD, and I enjoy owning work from backend to UI while learning fast in new codebases.

In my recent freelance work, I built and shipped 5+ production React Native apps with a crash-free rate above 99% across releases, including Lavial (1,000+ downloads; Stripe payments and digital ticketing) and Respark, where I was the sole developer across app, Node.js backend, admin dashboard, and cloud deployment. Earlier, at IBM Romania as a Web Developer Intern, I delivered production MERN-stack features, built and integrated RESTful APIs, optimized MongoDB queries to cut API response time by ~30%, and created 15+ reusable React UI components to reduce feature development time by ~25%.
