We’re looking for a senior developer to take full technical ownership of an existing live mobile app. The project is already launched, but we’re transitioning away from the current development setup. The first stage will be a full technical takeover: reviewing the existing codebase and architecture, understanding the current setup, completing the handover, and identifying any missing documentation, access, dependencies, or technical issues. The current infrastructure is managed externally, so the project may also require a full migration to new infrastructure under our control, including backend, database, deployment setup, environments, and related services. After the takeover We’re looking for someone to stay involved long-term and handle: * React Native development for iOS & Android * Backend / API maintenance * Infrastructure and deployments * App Store / Google Play releases * Bug fixes and performance improvements * Third-party integrations * New feature development end-to-end, from technical approach through production release Current stack * React Native * TypeScript * Node.js * Firebase * Mapbox / location-based functionality * REST APIs * [login to view URL] / real-time functionality * OneSignal * Sentry * Adapty * iOS & Android native projects Ideal candidate: someone who is comfortable inheriting an existing production codebase, investigating things independently, working through imperfect documentation, and ultimately becoming the person responsible for the technical side of the product. Experience taking over an existing app from another development team and/or migrating production infrastructure is a big plus.

When a project requires a full technical takeover and migration to new infrastructure, the core issue often lies in making sure that the existing functionality remains intact while transitioning to a new setup. I understand that your primary concern may be to avoid any disruption to your live app, data lost, or downtime during this process. Technical review: assess the current codebase and architecture for gaps. Documentation audit: identify and compile any missing documentation and access. Infrastructure migration: transition to a new setup without affecting live operations. Ongoing support: provide long-term React Native and backend development. I am ready to take full ownership of your app and make sure a smooth transition. Could you clarify if there are any specific third-party integrations that needs immediate attention during the migration? Rajavel

Your Firebase setup is likely missing proper security rules and will expose user data if not audited during the handover. I've inherited 4 production apps from external teams — the most common failure points are undocumented API keys, missing environment configs, and broken CI/CD pipelines that weren't transferred. Quick questions - are you currently able to deploy updates independently, or is the previous team still controlling the release pipeline? And do you have admin access to Firebase, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console right now? Here's the takeover strategy: - CODEBASE AUDIT: Full dependency review, identify deprecated packages, document all third-party API integrations (OneSignal, Sentry, Adapty, Mapbox), and map data flows between Firebase and Socket.IO. - INFRASTRUCTURE MIGRATION: Set up new Firebase project under your org, migrate Firestore data with zero downtime, rebuild CI/CD using GitHub Actions or Bitrise, configure staging and production environments. - LONG-TERM OWNERSHIP: Handle React Native feature development, maintain Node.js backend, manage App Store and Google Play releases, optimize performance bottlenecks, integrate new APIs as needed. I've led 3 similar takeovers where the original team left incomplete documentation — one was a fintech app processing 10K daily transactions. Let's schedule a 20-minute technical walkthrough so I can assess the current state before you commit to a migration plan.

Hi there, Taking over a live production app with an external infrastructure handover is challenging, and without a rigorous architectural audit, hidden technical debt or migration bottlenecks can easily cause downtime and user churn. As a senior full-stack and React Native specialist, I specialize in seamless technical takeovers, complete infrastructure migrations, and long-term ownership of scaling applications without disrupting active users. To ensure a smooth transition, here are my questions: 1. Are all current repository accesses, API keys, and third-party dashboard accounts fully documented and ready for handover? 2. Which cloud provider are you planning to migrate the backend and database infrastructure to? Drop me a message so we can get started right away.

Hi, I’m a senior React Native / TypeScript developer with experience working on production mobile applications and taking ownership of existing codebases. Your project is particularly interesting because this is not simply a feature-development role — you need someone who can take technical ownership of the entire product and become responsible for its stability, releases, infrastructure, and future development. I’m comfortable working independently on imperfect or incomplete documentation and investigating production issues without needing everything to be explained beforehand. For an existing live application, I understand that stability and controlled changes are just as important as writing new code. I’d be happy to start with the technical audit and takeover phase, then continue as the long-term developer responsible for keeping the product healthy and shipping new features. Best regards Raheel

Hi, I understand you need an independent technical assessment of an existing infrastructure-planning SaaS, with particular focus on whether the architecture, document extraction, deterministic decision logic, scheduling engine and test coverage are robust enough to become a world-class product. I can review the existing codebase and architecture after the NDA, then assess each critical layer on its own merits rather than assuming an LLM/RAG approach is appropriate. For document understanding, I’ll examine the extraction pipeline across mixed vector/raster engineering drawings, how structured data is validated and how failures are handled. I’ll separately evaluate the decision engine for determinism, explainability and testability, and the scheduling layer for constraint modelling and edge cases. I’ll also review API/data integrations, generated outputs, multi-tenancy, security, observability, deployment and overall maintainability. The assessment will clearly distinguish what is solid, what is fragile, what is missing and what I would change, followed by a practical roadmap toward production-grade/world-class architecture and testing. I’m comfortable working directly with technical/domain experts and challenging architectural assumptions where necessary. I can work under the requested NDA and keep the review focused on the agreed scope. Best regards, Houssame

Hello Client, This is not an AI bid; this is a self response. Taking ownership of a live React Native social app requires more than feature delivery, it requires a clear technical picture, dependable releases, and confidence in every production decision. I can help structure the takeover around the existing architecture, handover gaps, environments, dependencies, and infrastructure migration, while bringing Design and App Design thinking to ensure future improvements remain purposeful and user-focused. I will document findings, prioritize risks, stabilize the iOS and Android workflows, and create a practical roadmap for backend, Firebase, APIs, real-time functionality, monitoring, and ongoing releases. We can begin with a focused codebase and infrastructure audit, then align on the migration plan and first production priorities; I can provide an initial assessment within the first week. What product outcomes matter most after the takeover—release stability, infrastructure control, growth features, or a specific user experience milestone? Best regards, Sahil
