Hire a React Native developer
Five years, six apps live on both stores, a published Turbo Module, and every codebase TypeScript from the first commit.
You are probably here because you need someone who has already made the mistakes. Five years of production React Native, six apps on the App Store and Play Store, and the parts people underestimate done repeatedly: deep linking on both platforms, offline video, three payment gateways, live event traffic, and store review arguing back.
I work directly with you. There is no account manager between us, the person writing the code is the person on the call, and if the answer to your question is that your idea will not work in React Native I will say so on that call rather than three invoices later.
What that covers
- A new app from an empty folder to both stores
- Feature work inside an existing React Native codebase
- Version upgrades and New Architecture migration
- Native modules in Kotlin and Swift when the ecosystem falls short
- Profiled performance work with measurements either side
I am one developer, not a studio. If you need four people starting on Monday, I am the wrong call, and I would rather tell you now.
How it would be billed
Fixed-price project
A scoped piece of work, quoted after discovery and billed against milestones. Best when you know what you want built.
Monthly retainer
An agreed number of days each month, billed in advance. Best when the work is continuous and the priorities move.
Consulting and audit
A fixed number of days ending in a written document. Best when you need an answer rather than a developer.
Inside your team
A day rate, your process, your standups, your repository. Best when you have a team and need one more senior pair of hands.

Questions
Are you available right now?
Email me and I will tell you honestly, including if the answer is not for six weeks. I would rather lose the work than take it and start late.
How do you charge?
Three shapes. A fixed price for a scoped piece of work after a short paid discovery, a monthly retainer for ongoing work, or a day rate when you want me inside your team. Retainers are billed monthly in advance, project work against milestones.
What timezone do you work in?
India Standard Time, from Ahmedabad. In practice that has meant a working overlap with Europe every day and an early-morning window with the US east coast. I have worked with teams in both.
Also hiring for a mobile app developer?
Still the right person?
A sentence about the product and where it is stuck is enough to start. I answer every mail myself, including the ones where the answer is that I am not the right person.
