Valliappan Periannan
@valliappanperiannan
React Native Lead Engineer focused on offline-first, high-performance mobile apps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a React Native Lead Engineer with 8+ years building high-performance, production-grade mobile applications for iOS and Android. My deep expertise in React Native internals—Fabric Renderer, Yoga Layout Engine, and native module bridging—lets me deliver highly optimized, fluid user experiences.
I lead mobile teams to define architecture standards and ship features that are measurable and reliable. I specialize in identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks through profiling and targeted optimization, improving render times, app startup speed, and overall app stability.
Across enterprise platforms, I’ve engineered offline-first systems that keep the app fully functional in zero-connectivity environments, using local data sync, conflict resolution, and resilient storage strategies. I’ve also modernized UI performance by eliminating unnecessary re-renders, leveraging lazy loading and component memoization, and applying FlatList virtualization for smoother 60fps experiences.
I’m motivated by building mobile experiences that are fast, resilient, and delightful to use, while creating repeatable engineering practices for teams to follow. From performance audits and code reviews to technical mentorship and requirements-to-roadmap collaboration, I bring an execution-focused mindset to every release.
