I’m Suhas. TypeScript-first React Native engineer, shipping mobile products and the tooling that gets them out the door. 4 years of it. I care about the seams — the upgrade path, the release pipeline, the frame that drops on a mid-range Android. Nobody has ever thanked me for a seam.

Not the tickets. The calls I made, what they cost me, and what is still running without me.
An AI guide in your ear while you walk a city you don't know.
A guided tour has to work while someone is walking around a city they don't know, with a phone in one hand. GPS drifts, the screen locks, the network drops between checkpoints — and there is nobody standing next to them to fix it.
Catching the broken thing before a guest does.
Whether something was actually ready to ship lived in people's heads. Product and ops re-derived the same checks by hand every time, and the cost of that stays invisible right up until a guest hits the broken one.

Build ready — iOS and Android, in the thread.
2024 · Lead engineerReplacing CodePush with a system we owned end to end.
In early 2024 Microsoft announced the deprecation of AppCenter CodePush. Our release cadence depended on it — without OTA we were back to waiting on store review for every hotfix.
2022–2025 · React Native engineerSelf-guided property touring, on 4.8 stars.
A tenant should be able to unlock and tour a home alone, on their schedule, without anyone meeting them there. That means the app has to be right the first time — there's no support agent standing next to them.
2022–2023 · Associate Software DeveloperFixing the pipeline nobody wanted to own.
Sharing a build with QA was a chore measured in coffee breaks, and the app carried years of legacy class components and untyped JavaScript. Both problems slowed every single change.
Roughly in order of how often it ends up in my editor.

Building & Scaling the Dex app.
Joined to work on Dex.
Jan 2022 – Aug 2025Owned the Tours app, ran the release train, scrum master for a team of seven.
Paid down the tech debt and fixed the build pipeline.
Where it started.
VIT Vellore2018 – 2022I build mobile products with React Native, and I care about the seams — the upgrade path, the release pipeline, the frame that drops on a cheap phone.
Design sensitivity and engineering rigour aren't a tradeoff for me. I've shipped features people use daily, and internal tooling that took a team's build time from painful to seven minutes.
I mentor juniors, review a lot of code, and help shape how a team ships.
Four languages, and I still write my clearest arguments in TypeScript.
Two of these I earned. One of them I still think was a clerical mistake.
An AR relic hunt through the Bengaluru office, built with Aromal and Mukul in under 36 hours. I wired it into Dex's action-node system; the hard part was making the AR scan actually work.
Rently handed me this one, then did it again in Q2.
I assumed the first was an administrative error until the second turned up.
A migration with a date on it, a system that needs someone answerable for it, or just a hello. I read every one of these myself.
