Senior React Native · Python & AI Engineer

I ship production mobile apps — and the Python backends & RAG systems behind them.

7+ years in React Native delivery. I also build FastAPI services, OpenAI integrations, and RAG pipelines — so your app, API, and AI features ship under one senior owner.

Python & AI

RAG Systems, LLMs & FastAPI Backends

Growing focus alongside mobile — production AI that ships inside apps, not slide decks.

RAG & knowledge systems

Document Q&A, embeddings, vector search (pgvector/Pinecone), chunking strategies, and retrieval tuned for production — not notebook demos.

Python APIs & backends

FastAPI and Flask services — auth, PostgreSQL, Redis, webhooks, background jobs, and APIs that mobile and web clients depend on 24/7.

AI inside mobile products

GPT-4 chat, function calling, streaming UI, and agent workflows embedded in React Native apps with fallbacks users actually experience.

Background

Product-minded engineer, not an agency

I work directly with founders and engineering leads — owning mobile delivery with the judgment that comes from 7+ years in production.

Client Results

What Founders & CTOs Say

Long-term partnerships built on reliable delivery, product thinking, and measurable outcomes.

Dhairya didn't just write code — he understood our product vision and pushed back when something wouldn't work for users. He shipped our MVP to both app stores in 10 weeks and we've had zero critical crashes since launch.

Founder & CEO · US Health Tech Startup
Launched to 5K+ users in first month with 4.7★ App Store rating

We've hired dozens of React Native developers on Upwork. Dhairya is in the top 1%. His code quality, communication, and ability to work independently across time zones made him our go-to senior engineer for client projects.

Engagements

What I Take On

Focused engagements for teams that need a senior engineer to own delivery — not a generic dev shop.

MVP → App Store

Scoped milestones from architecture to iOS & Android launch for funded startups validating a mobile product.

AI & RAG systems

Design and ship RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, and intelligent features — from ingestion and embeddings to production APIs your app calls.

Python APIs & backends

FastAPI services, database design, third-party integrations, and infrastructure that powers mobile, web, and AI workflows.

Scale-up & rescue

Performance, real-time systems, crash reduction, and architecture audits for React Native or Python codebases that need a senior lead.

FAQ

Common Questions From Clients

Answers for founders and agencies evaluating a senior React Native developer.

Production React Native apps for startups and agencies — MVP launches, feature scale-ups, and rescue/architecture audits. I also own Python backends and production AI integration when the product needs a single technical lead.
