💭 Sometimes the Hardest Part Isn’t Skill — It’s the Situation

I’ve spent years building my expertise in Native iOS and React Native, and I’m also comfortable working with React JS when needed.

But right now, the biggest challenge isn’t capability — it’s the need to work remotely.

Because of my family responsibilities and my mom’s health, I must prioritize a remote role. I already have a proper remote work setup and years of experience collaborating with teams remotely.

Unfortunately, finding the right opportunity with this constraint has been difficult.

This has been a tough phase for me and my family, especially after the startup shutdown that led to my layoff. But I’m still moving forward — applying, learning, interviewing, and staying hopeful.

I’m open to:
🔹 Full-time permanent roles
🔹 Contract / consulting opportunities
🔹 Remote-only positions

If your team is hiring a developer experienced in Native iOS (9+ years) or React Native (6+ years), I would truly appreciate your support or referral.

Sometimes all someone needs is one opportunity and a little understanding.

🙏 Thank you for reading and for supporting professionals going through difficult times.

💭 February Is Midway… and I’m Ready to Start Immediately

We’re already in the middle of February, and I’m still searching — still applying, still preparing, still hoping.

I’m open to any suitable role in:
🔹 React Native (6+ years experience)
🔹 Native iOS (9+ years experience)

Across both ecosystems, I’ve worked on production apps, architecture decisions, performance optimization, and long-term product scalability. I know how to take ownership and deliver.

Right now, I’m looking for a remote-only opportunity — not as a preference, but because of family responsibilities and my mom’s health.

This phase hasn’t been easy. When you’re the sole earner, every passing week feels heavier. But I’m ready — ready to contribute, ready to join immediately, ready to prove my value from day one.

If your team is hiring, or if you can connect me to someone who is, I would truly appreciate your support. 🙏

Still hopeful. Still resilient. Still here.

🧪 Jest in React Native — Testing That Actually Scales

In React Native projects, features move fast — and without proper testing, regressions move even faster.
That’s where Jest becomes a quiet but powerful ally.

Jest isn’t just a testing tool — it’s a confidence layer.

Here’s how Jest fits naturally into React Native apps:
✅ Unit testing business logic (reducers, helpers, services)
✅ Component testing with predictable snapshots
✅ Mocking APIs & native modules without complex setup
✅ Fast feedback — tests run quickly, perfect for CI pipelines

What I appreciate most is this:
Jest encourages testable architecture.
When your components, hooks, and state logic are clean, writing tests becomes easier — and the codebase becomes healthier by default.

You don’t need 100% coverage to get value.
Even basic Jest tests can save hours of debugging and give teams the confidence to refactor without fear.

Testing isn’t slowing development —
untested code does.

How are you using Jest in your React Native projects — unit tests only or snapshots + logic tests?
