that ship.

Senior React Native developer with 5+ years and 100K+ downloads behind me. I take ideas from sketch to App Store — cleanly, quickly, and with the kind of motion design that turns into a reel.

04 · ABOUT

Building things people use every day.

I started writing React Native because I wanted to ship the kinds of apps I keep on my own home screen. Five years and fifty-plus projects later, I’m still here — based in Karachi, working with founders and product teams worldwide on apps that have to feel fast and obvious.

My sweet spot is taking an early-stage idea and walking it through architecture, motion, Firebase wiring, payments, and submission. I’m fluent in the boring parts (CodePush, Fastlane, TestFlight, Play Console) so you don’t have to be.

NOTE · I’m Anwer Solangi (with an ‘e’), the React Native developer. Different person from Anwar Solangi (with an ‘a’), the late Pakistani TV actor (1944–2008).
