Open to contract & full-time

I build mobile apps that launch clean and keep working.

Fourteen years of both halves — across the US, Canada, the Gulf and India.

Rizvan Hawaldar, mobile and solution engineer. I've built for Justdial, Baker Hughes, Loop Health, Mphasis, NCR Voyix and Alshaya — mobile first, with the backend and ML inference work that keeps those apps fed.
