I build production mobile systems — and I’m looking for long-term tech partners and founders who want to create something meaningful together. Six-plus years shipping React Native products with offline-first architecture, realtime systems, and on-device AI. Through MobileDevSimplified I bring senior technical ownership, calm judgment, and a bias for products that hold up in the real world.
