Mobile engineering
Get your app moving again
React Native & Flutter
CI/CD that ships
Cross-platform expertise
Your mobile app is the closest your product gets to your users
Mobile codebases have a way of becoming painful. Apps stuck on React Native versions so old that upgrading feels impossible, releases blocked by App Store rejections, security vulnerabilities that have been lurking for years. When a screen is slow, glitchy, or the app crashes, the user feels it. There's no hiding from that.
We're not precious about frameworks
React Native, Flutter, native when it makes sense. Whether you're trying to figure out the right approach or stuck on a version so old that upgrading feels impossible, we help with both. We get your app unstuck and make sure changes don't break things across the whole app.
Built to hand over
We bring proper engineering practices and structure so your team can move faster without fear. Automated releases, solid testing, clear architecture. What matters most is that your team can work with the codebase long after we're gone.
Concrete outcomes, not just code
We focus on delivering measurable improvements across four key areas that matter most to your product and team.
Upgrades & maintenance
We get apps off old React Native and Flutter versions, sort out the dependencies, and work through the technical debt that's been piling up.

App stores & releases
We unblock stuck releases, set up CI/CD so shipping becomes routine rather than time-draining, and fix what's causing App Store rejections.

Want releases that ship without the drama?
Developer experience
We untangle messy architectures: props drilled too deep, state all over the place, changes that keep breaking things they shouldn't. We leave you with code that's easier to test and maintain.

Security
We address the security issues that have been waiting. Insecure storage, weak authentication, the gaps that haven't made it to the top of the list yet.

Keeping buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition
After their technical co-founder departed unexpectedly, we stepped in with two staff engineers to build a quality-first MVP using Inertia.js, Vue, and Laravel. We established robust CI/CD pipelines, implemented comprehensive testing, and mentored the team through knowledge transfer.

We help our clients succeed
You will not see companies like Amazon among our past clients. You will, however, see the names that will soon rock the SaaS world because we helped them predict risks and avoid failure.

We can help with your mobile app
Whether your mobile app is slowing you down, holding back new features, or just needs a refresh. We're ready to dig in.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with our mobile engineers.
We bring deep expertise across the mobile ecosystem including React Native, Flutter, native iOS (Swift), and native Android (Kotlin). We adapt to your existing stack rather than imposing our preferences.
Absolutely. We specialise in brownfield development, improving what already exists. We excel at refactoring legacy mobile apps, untangling complex codebases, and modernising architectures while your app continues running in production.
We start by profiling your application to identify actual bottlenecks. Then we implement targeted optimisations like image optimization, lazy loading, proper state management, and native module integration. We focus on measurable improvements, not theoretical perfection.
Yes. We work with cross-platform frameworks like React Native and Flutter, as well as native iOS and Android development. We help you choose the right approach for your needs and ensure consistency across platforms.
Quality is built into our development process. We implement comprehensive testing strategies, use proper CI/CD pipelines, follow platform-specific best practices, and ensure your app works across different devices and OS versions.
We establish comprehensive testing strategies using tools like Detox, Appium, Jest, and native testing frameworks. We implement unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to catch issues before they reach production.
Knowledge transfer is core to our approach. Through pair programming, collaborative code reviews, and comprehensive documentation, we ensure your team gains the skills and confidence to continue building after we're gone.
This depends on the scope of the project. We like to go in with an exit plan, stay long enough to make meaningful improvements and ensure your team is confident to continue independently. The goal is always to make ourselves unnecessary over time.
