iOS & Android Apps Built Once, Shipped Twice
React Native with Expo — one TypeScript codebase for both stores, native feel on every device, and 60% of the cost of going fully native. App Store submission, OTA updates, and push notifications all handled.
- TypeScript strict — typed components, navigation, and API responses
- EAS build pipeline — OTA updates without App Store review delays
- Native feel — gestures, haptics, and platform-specific navigation patterns
- App Store & Google Play submission handled end-to-end

React Native Expertise
What I Build With React Native
From consumer apps to internal tools — shipped to real stores with real users.
Consumer Mobile Apps
Onboarding flows, social feeds, real-time messaging, in-app purchases, and push notification campaigns — built with React Native and Expo Router for native feel on both iOS and Android without the native cost.
B2B & Internal Tools
Field service apps, inventory management, approval workflows, and offline-first data entry. TypeScript strict, role-based access, and a data model that syncs when connectivity returns — not when it's convenient.
React Native MVP
Idea to App Store in 4–6 weeks. Auth, core flows, API integration, and EAS build + submission — the minimum that's actually shippable, not the minimum that's embarrassing.
Web-to-Mobile Extensions
You have a web app and you need a mobile companion. I share business logic, API clients, and validation schemas between your existing Next.js codebase and the React Native app — no duplicate code, no out-of-sync behaviour.
Offline-First Architecture
SQLite via Expo SQLite, MMKV for fast storage, Expo SecureStore for tokens, and an optimistic update layer so the UI never feels like it's waiting for the network. The app works on a plane, not just with 5G.
App Store Submission & Review
Apple Developer Program setup, provisioning profiles, Play Console listing, screenshots, privacy policy, metadata, and the review submission. I handle the paperwork — you approve the release.
Why Hire Me
React Native That Feels Native
The difference between a React Native app that impresses and one that doesn't comes down to a few decisions made in the first week.
TypeScript strict throughout
No any, no implicit returns, no ignoring the compiler. Every component, hook, navigation param, and API response is fully typed. Catches bugs at compile time, not at 2am in production.
Platform-native feel, not web-in-a-shell
React Native Gesture Handler for native gestures, platform-specific navigation patterns (stack on iOS, bottom tabs on Android), and haptic feedback via Expo Haptics. It feels like a real app because it is one.
EAS build pipeline from day one
Expo EAS for OTA updates and store builds. CI on every commit, preview builds on PR, production release on tag. No manual Xcode archive ceremonies — just push to main.
Full-stack context — app + API
I build the API as well as the app. That means the API contracts get designed alongside the screens that consume them — no back-and-forth between a mobile dev and a backend dev who don't talk to each other.
Common Questions
Before You Reach Out
The questions every client asks — answered honestly.
React Native vs Flutter — which should I choose?
React Native if your team knows JavaScript/TypeScript or you have a web product to share code with. Flutter if you need maximum rendering control (custom UI like games or highly animated apps) or if your team is Dart-native. For most business apps, React Native is the pragmatic choice — larger ecosystem, more hire market, and Expo makes the tooling excellent.
How long does App Store review take?
Typically 1–3 days for new submissions, often same-day for updates once the app has history. The most common rejection reasons are a missing privacy policy, vague app description, or a demo account that doesn't work for the reviewer. I prepare everything to avoid those.
Can you add React Native to our existing web product?
Yes — the most common pattern is a React Native app that talks to the same API as your web app. If your web product is built on Next.js or React, business logic, validation schemas, and API client code can be shared in a monorepo to eliminate duplication.
What's an OTA update and why does it matter?
Expo EAS lets you push JavaScript bundle updates to users' devices without going through app store review. Bug fixes, copy changes, and non-native feature additions ship in minutes instead of the usual 1–3 day review window. It's a meaningful operational advantage.
How much does a React Native app cost?
An MVP (auth + 3–5 core flows + EAS submission) starts at $6,000 and ships in 4–6 weeks. A full production app with 10+ screens, offline support, and real-time features starts at $15,000 and ships in 8–12 weeks. I work fixed-price with a written scope.
Do you handle the back-end API as well?
Yes. If you need an API built alongside the app, I can do both — see /services/backend-development or /services/api-development for what that covers. Bundling the two often saves time because the API contracts get designed alongside the screens that consume them.
