Technical Skills & Expertise

React Native – Core Expertise

React Native is Wajahat's primary specialization. With over five years of experience shipping React Native applications to the App Store and Google Play, he has an intimate understanding of the framework's strengths, limitations, and the best practices that separate maintainable production apps from prototypes.

His React Native expertise includes working with the New Architecture (JSI, Fabric, TurboModules), setting up continuous integration pipelines for mobile, managing complex state with Redux Toolkit, building offline-first experiences with Realm and AsyncStorage, integrating native modules in both Swift and Kotlin, and optimizing FlatList rendering for large datasets. He has also implemented comprehensive testing strategies using Jest, Detox, and React Native Testing Library.

TypeScript – Type-Safe Development

TypeScript is not optional in Wajahat's projects — it is a fundamental requirement. Strong typing allows teams to move faster, catch bugs at compile time rather than runtime, and communicate system contracts clearly through code. He uses TypeScript across the entire stack: React Native apps, Next.js frontends, and Node.js backends.

Advanced TypeScript patterns in his toolkit include discriminated unions for state machines,conditional types for flexible generics, template literal types for API contracts, and custom utility types for domain modeling. He also writes strict ESLint and TypeScript configurations that maintain code quality across large teams without hindering developer velocity.

Next.js & Web Development

Wajahat builds modern web applications using Next.js, leveraging its powerful hybrid rendering model. He chooses between Static Site Generation (SSG), Server-Side Rendering (SSR), and Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) based on the specific requirements of each page. His web projects consistently achieve excellent Core Web Vitals scores by implementing proper image optimization, code splitting, and font loading strategies.

The projects featured in the Projects section demonstrate his Next.js expertise applied to real-world scenarios. You can also read detailed technical explanations of these approaches on the Blog.

Backend & Database Expertise

While primarily a frontend and mobile specialist, Wajahat has deep backend experience in Node.js,Express.js, and GraphQL. He designs RESTful and GraphQL APIs with a focus on security, performance, and developer experience. Database expertise includes both relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL solutions (MongoDB, Firebase, Realm).

His API integration skills extend to third-party services including payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), push notification services (Firebase Cloud Messaging, APNs), mapping solutions (Google Maps, Mapbox), and analytics platforms. Understanding the full request lifecycle from the mobile or web client through the API layer to the database gives him a unique ability to optimize system performance holistically.

DevOps & Deployment

Modern software engineering requires understanding deployment and infrastructure. Wajahat is proficient with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines, containerization with Docker, and cloud deployments on AWS, Google Cloud, and Vercel. He automates testing, build, and deployment processes to enable teams to ship confidently and frequently.
