About
Mohd. Fatehyab Farooqui
Senior React Native Engineer · India — working remotely
Eight years of mobile engineering, most of it in React Native and Expo. I have taken consumer apps from an empty repository to the App Store, owned the server side that sits behind them, and shipped AI features that had to be correct rather than impressive. Lately I build my own products too.
Freelance & contract
Independent
Jul 2026 — present
Contract mobile engineer
Remote
Contract engineering for teams that need a senior mobile developer who can also own the backend behind the app — and my own products in between.
Insight Labs
Dec 2024 — Sep 2026
Contract — lead / primary mobile developer
Remote
Four consumer apps across nutrition, health and wellness. Expo clients, Supabase and Convex backends, AI pipelines kept server-side where the keys and the cost controls belong, and subscription gates enforced where a modified client cannot get past them.
Before that
Before going independent I spent eight years building mobile products in-house and at an agency — three and a half of them as a senior React Native engineer owning a flagship product end to end, from a legacy rewrite shipped on iOS, Android and web to a 138-component design system, an enterprise deployment with SSO and an encrypted offline-first database, and real-time and voice AI features. Happy to talk through any of it.
