What I'm looking for

I want to lead mobile engineering and ship reliable, high-performance apps—improving stability, security, and developer velocity while mentoring teams and owning architecture decisions.

I’m a Mobile Developer Lead with 7 years of experience building React Native apps that real people use every day. My work spans high-impact products like the DEWA app in Dubai, a national government platform in Pakistan, and a security product in the UK—together reaching over a million users.

I keep teams moving fast and codebases healthy: I’ve led up to 12 developers, improved stability under heavy load (80,000+ simultaneous users), and helped delivery “ship in hours instead of days.” I also strengthen quality through security fixes (zero critical problems after an audit) and testing (80% coverage, 35% fewer regressions), while delivering features like Google Maps/Mapbox vehicle tracking and real-time communication with WebRTC.
