Frequently asked questions
React Native or Flutter?
Both ship excellent apps. React Native if your team lives in TypeScript; Flutter for heavy custom UI. I have shipped production apps in both and will recommend one for your case.
How long does a mobile MVP take?
A focused MVP, one core flow done properly and deployed, typically takes six to ten weeks.
How much does it cost to hire you as a mobile app developer?
Every project is scoped on a free 30-minute call. Because I work remotely from Islamabad, you get senior, award-winning experience at rates well below US and UK senior market rates, and the prototype phase is quoted at a fixed price so your risk is capped.
Do you work with clients in the US, UK and UAE?
Yes. I have shipped for clients in UAE, UK, Australia and Pakistan, and work remotely with overlap for UAE, UK, EU and US East Coast hours.
Do you write the code yourself?
Yes. I architect the system and write the critical code myself. For larger builds I also lead engineers from my team at Quickgen Technologies, where I am Co-Founder & CTO.
