Mobile Lead (React Native)

This profile represents the senior end of the mobile pool: a lead who came up through native development and now runs React Native teams without losing touch with the platforms underneath.

Background

Ten years in mobile. The first stretch was native iOS and Android, which still pays off every time React Native needs a custom module or a platform-specific fix. The last several years have been spent leading small mobile teams on consumer and marketplace apps: setting architecture, reviewing code, managing releases, and keeping crash rates and app store ratings healthy.

Strengths

• Native depth. When the JavaScript layer runs out, can drop into Swift or Kotlin and solve the actual problem.
• Release discipline. Treats app store submission, staged rollouts, and crash monitoring as a core part of the job.
• Team leadership. Raises the level of the engineers around them through review and pairing, not just output.
• Performance. Knows why lists stutter and startup drags, and fixes it methodically.

Typical engagement

Fractional lead or hands-on senior for a mobile team, typically 20 to 30 hours a week. US Central hours. Availability is limited, so timing matters.
