React Native | Android (Kotlin) & iOS (Swift) | On-Device AI Expert

Top Rated Plus developer with a 100% Job Success Score specializing in high-performance Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) and iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) applications. I provide a competitive edge by integrating on-device AI - from custom fine-tuned YOLO models for real-time detection to local LLM integration for intelligent UX. Simultaneously, I offer expert-level React Native development for clients seeking high-intensity, scalable cross-platform solutions. I bridge the gap between complex AI logic and polished mobile UX. A recent production success includes a YOLO-based scanning app achieving a 100% detection rate and 99% OCR accuracy via TensorFlow Lite. Technical Expertise: - On-Device AI & Vision: Expert in custom YOLO, OpenCV, and Google ML Kit for real-time scanning and on-device LLM features. - Native Excellence: Senior-level SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose development focusing on clean MVVM/MVI architecture. - High-Intensity React Native: Building robust cross-platform apps with seamless native-module integrations and high-performance UI. - Backend & Cloud: Scalable infrastructure using AWS Lambda, Firebase, Supabase, GraphQL, and REST APIs. - Growth & Revenue: Integration of MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust) and analytics (Mixpanel, Customerio) to track revenue and user behavior. - Modernization: Expert at migrating legacy codebases to modern frameworks and optimizing app performance. I lead projects from the first line of code to App Store/Google Play deployment, ensuring every app I ship is production-ready, performant, and data-informed.
