What you get
- Bridgeless / Fabric / TurboModules — I architect for the New Architecture from day one — no migration debt, no JSON-serialization tax across the bridge.
- C++ JSI native modules — Hot paths (image decode, ML pre-processing, barcode scanning) live in C++ HostObjects exposed via JSI. 10–15× faster than the JS thread.
- On-device computer vision — MediaPipe + WebGPU pose / hand / face detection at 60fps. Zero frames leave the device.
- Reanimated 3 worklets — Every gesture and scroll-driven animation runs on the UI thread. No `runOnJS` in hot paths.
- Cold start as a product feature — Hermes bytecode precompilation, lazy native modules, deferred analytics — typically 40–60% reduction in time-to-interactive.
Proof
- Aura Arena · 60fps on-device pose detection · 50K peak DAU — Computer vision rep-counter for fitness. MediaPipe GPU + JSI + Reanimated worklets.
- Kshem · HIPAA-grade RAG · sub-2s answer latency — Healthcare AI assistant with on-device PHI redaction and BAA-covered LLM provider.
- Vulcan Eleven · 21 engineers led · Bridgeless from day one — Founding-engineer build of a Web3 + mobile platform on the new React Native architecture.
How it works
- Week 0 — Architecture audit — Free 60-minute review of your current app, build pipeline, and team structure. You leave with a written audit even if we don't work together.
- Week 1–2 — Foundation — New Architecture migration plan, native module audit, observability baseline (Sentry + custom startup metric).
- Week 3+ — Ship — Pair with your team on the highest-leverage path — usually a JSI module, a Reanimated rewrite, or a startup-time overhaul.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hire a React Native architect in India?
Senior React Native architect rates from India typically range from $80–180/hour depending on scope and engagement length. I work on monthly retainers for principal-level engagements, and per-project for focused audits. Reach out for a quote.
Do you work with my timezone?
Yes — I overlap 4–6 hours with EU teams and 3–5 hours with US East Coast teams. I'm based in Kolkata (GMT+5:30) and typically work 11:00–20:00 IST.
Can you join my team full-time?
I take Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, Founding Engineer, and VP Engineering roles — remote only. For full-time, I'm available from Q2 2026.
Do you ship code or just consult?
Both. Most engagements are hands-on — I write production code, review PRs, and pair with your team. I'm not interested in slide-deck consulting.
