Senior, high-ownership React Native/mobile roles — ideally greenfield builds with native systems work and real architectural autonomy. Also building AI-native engineering practices (Cursor, Claude Code, agentic workflows) and want a team open to that. Open to remote, full-time or B2B contract roles internationally.

I build production React Native mobile systems, native SDKs, and AI-native engineering workflows.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Altir, I joined as the first hire and founding engineer on Hyperfuel, helping build its EV-charging wallet from inception through the company’s $10M+ funding journey. I own mobile features end to end, from requirements and architecture to App Store and Play Store releases.
I built a custom Android and iOS geofencing and background-location SDK that replaced paid providers, along with a Python backend and React observability dashboard for QA. I’ve also led NFC/HCE tap-to-pay research, implemented biometric authentication, built iOS Live Activities and Android foreground-service experiences, and created BLE communication for EV-charger hardware.
I drive AI-native engineering practices using Cursor, Claude Code, LangGraph, and agentic workflows. At Altir, I helped make the codebase AI-first by resolving 1,089 TypeScript errors and 500+ lint issues, while shipping tested production work faster.
I also write from firsthand production experience, publishing 40+ Medium articles on React Native, native mobile systems, BLE, background execution, and AI-native development.
