I help banks and product teams ship and scale React Native — from staff pilots to million-customer migrations.
Lead React Native squads through delivery — architecture, release governance, and cross-functional alignment with product and operations.
Move legacy mobile stacks onto React Native with phased rollouts, shared foundations, and reduced migration risk.
Prove the platform on a controlled internal product first, then expand the same stack to whitelabel or customer-facing apps.
Enterprise banking, InsurTech startup, and consumer apps — with write-ups on approach and outcomes.

LinkedIn recommendation from Freely's Head of Technology.
"I worked closely with Hemanta during their tenure at Fit For Footy, where he effectively managed our full stack development, whilst demonstrating a strategic mindset. Hemanta's expertise allowed our product to be featured in Apple's top Apps, gain widespread media coverage, and resulted in us partnering with the AFL in a very short period of time. I wholeheartedly recommend Hemanta for any leadership role where innovation, technical expertise and strategic proficiency are valued."
