About me

I help developers get unstuck on React Native and Node.js: broken builds, rejected app store submissions, state management that grew out of control, and APIs that fall over in production. I have spent the last several years building and releasing mobile apps and the backends behind them, which means I have already hit most of the errors you are staring at. Metro and Gradle failures, iOS signing, App Store and Play Store rejections, Express APIs timing out under load, MongoDB queries that were fine at 100 records and painful at 100,000, auth and token handling, and deployments that work locally and break on the server. In a session I will read your actual code with you rather than guess from a description. I will tell you what is wrong, why it happened, and what to change so it does not come back. If your problem is architectural rather than a bug, I will say so instead of patching it. Happy to do live debugging, code review, or a second opinion on a design decision before you build it.

Frequently asked questions

Who should book a call with you?

Developers and founders building React Native apps or Node.js backends. Most people come to me stuck on a build that will not compile, an app store rejection, an API falling over in production, or a decision about how to structure something before they build it.

What do you actually do in a 30-minute session?

I read your code with you rather than guess from a description. We find the real cause, I explain why it happened, and you leave knowing what to change. If the problem is architectural rather than a bug, I will say so instead of helping you patch around it.

What is your background?

I am a React Native and Node.js engineer and lead a small engineering team. I was lead engineer on Fate, a voice-first dating app live on the App Store and Google Play, covered by BBC, The Guardian, AP News, The Times and WIRED.

Can you help me get my app approved on the App Store or Play Store?

Yes. Store rejections are one of the most common things I get asked about. Send me the rejection message before the call and I will tell you what it actually means and what to change.

My React Native build broke and I have no idea why. Can you help?

That is most of what I do. Metro and Gradle failures, native module linking, iOS signing and provisioning, and works-in-debug-fails-in-release. Bring the error output and we will work through it live.

Do you help with career advice or only code?

Both, but I am most useful on the technical side: what to learn next, whether your project is good enough to show, and honest code review. I will tell you what is actually wrong rather than being encouraging about it.
