Hire a React Native developer when you need one accountable owner for iOS and Android — not a rotating marketplace bench. I am Shubham Handergule (shubu.dev), a freelance and contract React Native engineer based in Thane who ships TypeScript apps with store-ready QA, clear milestones, and weekly demos founders can show investors.
Hiring me means a single owner for mobile UI architecture, integrations, and release readiness. You get written updates, demo builds, and early warnings if scope or timeline risks appear — so budget conversations stay grounded in shipped screens, not vague hourly burn.
This page is for founders and hiring managers comparing freelancers: how engagement works, what is included, how to brief me so estimates stay accurate, and what production patterns I reuse from booking, commerce, fitness/BLE, and marketplace apps.
Engagement models
Fixed-scope milestones fit MVPs and redesigns with a clear feature list. Weekly retainers fit product teams that need continuous React Native velocity. Short consulting sprints fit audits — performance, navigation debt, or native module reviews.
I prefer outcomes over vague retainers with no definition of done. Every proposal lists deliverables, assumptions, and what happens if priorities change mid-sprint.
Full-time conversations happen selectively when the role, product, and team are a strong fit. Most clients start with a paid milestone to validate collaboration.
What is included when you hire me
TypeScript React Native implementation, navigation and state architecture, API integration, push/deep link setup as needed, device QA, and store submission support with your accounts.
Communication: short written updates, Loom or live demos when useful, and a shared backlog so stakeholders see progress without chasing status.
Handover: README-level architecture notes, environment checklist, and a clean repo so an in-house engineer can continue without archaeology.
How to brief me (so estimates are accurate)
Send: product goal, must-have flows, platforms (iOS/Android), design links, backend status, timeline, and budget range. Optional: App Store / Play links to competitors you admire.
I reply with clarifying questions, a proposed milestone plan, and whether I am the right fit. If native-heavy work needs a specialist beyond my scope, I say so early.

Why hire Shubham instead of a random profile
Production history across booking, fitness/BLE, multi-role commerce, and talent platforms — not tutorial demos. Dual comfort with React Native and Next.js when your product spans mobile and web.
Local presence in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region with remote-ready habits for pan-India and overseas teams.

What delivery looks like week to week
Week one locks architecture choices that are expensive to reverse later: navigation shape, auth/session model, API error handling, and how design tokens map into reusable components. You see a thin vertical slice early — one real flow end-to-end — so stakeholders can react before we paint the entire product.
Mid-engagement focuses on the risky surfaces: payments, offline or BLE paths, deep links, and release channels. I keep a living risk list so founders know what could slip and what we are trading off. Device QA covers a practical matrix of Android mid-range phones plus current iOS, not only the newest flagship.
Before store submission we align icons, privacy strings, screenshots, and crash-free baselines. After launch I can stay on for a short hypercare window or a retainer for feature iterations — whichever matches your runway. That continuity is usually why teams hire a React Native developer directly instead of splitting ownership across three vendors.

Frequently asked questions
What is your minimum engagement?+
Usually a defined milestone (MVP slice or feature set). Tiny one-hour tweaks are not a fit; meaningful shipping scopes are.
Do you work with agencies as a white-label partner?+
Yes, when communication paths are clear and the end client scope is documented. I stay transparent about quality standards.
Can you join an existing mobile team?+
Yes — as a contract engineer embedding into your rituals (standups, PRs, releases) while owning agreed workstreams.
How quickly can you start?+
Often within days if the brief is clear and calendars align. Share your target start date on contact and I will confirm availability.
