Professional Experience

Senior Mobile Engineer (React Native) June 2021 – Present
Figma San Francisco, CA
  • Architected a high-performance canvas engine using React Native Skia, enabling real-time collaboration for 50+ simultaneous users while maintaining a consistent 60 FPS on mid-range Android devices.
  • Reduced application TTI (Time to Interactive) by 42% by implementing a custom TurboModule for heavy data processing, moving logic from the JavaScript thread to native C++ via the JSI.
  • Led the migration of a legacy Redux state management system to TanStack Query, cutting boilerplate code by 30% and eliminating 90% of data-consistency bugs across the mobile and web platforms.
Mobile Software Engineer June 2018 – May 2021
Shopify Ottawa, Canada
  • Developed and maintained the Shop app’s core checkout flow in React Native, processing over $500k in daily transactions with a 99.9% crash-free rate.
  • Built a localized CI/CD pipeline using Fastlane and Bitrise that reduced build and deployment times from 45 minutes to 12 minutes per release cycle.

Projects

Open Source Performance Profiler React Native, Flipper, TypeScript
  • Created a Flipper plugin used by 2,000+ developers to visualize bridge traffic and identify redundant re-renders in real-time.

Writing Bullets for Senior Mobile Roles

Stop listing features and start showing how you solved the hard problems inherent in cross-platform development.

❌ Vague/Generic

Made the app run faster and improved the UI.

✓ Impact-Focused

Optimized list rendering performance by replacing standard FlatLists with FlashList, reducing memory consumption by 25% and eliminating frame drops during rapid scrolling.

Copied!

Why it works: It identifies a specific tool (FlashList), a specific problem (frame drops), and quantifies the memory improvement.

❌ Task-Focused

Responsible for writing native modules for iOS and Android.

✓ Results-Driven

Developed native Swift and Kotlin modules for hardware-accelerated image filtering, bypassing the bridge to achieve near-instant preview updates for users.

Copied!

Why it works: It shows you understand the 'Native' part of React Native, which is what separates seniors from juniors.

❌ No Metrics

Decreased the size of the app for better downloads.

✓ Quantified Achievement

Shrunk the Android APK size by 18MB (40%) through ProGuard configuration, Hermes engine optimization, and aggressive asset compression.

Copied!

Why it works: Size matters in mobile. Giving the exact megabyte count and the specific methods used proves technical competence.

❌ Passive Voice

The app was tested using Jest to ensure quality.

✓ Action-Oriented

Scaled test coverage from 20% to 85% by implementing a modular testing strategy with Jest and React Native Testing Library, reducing production regressions by 60%.

Copied!

Why it works: It shows leadership and a commitment to engineering culture, backed by a clear reduction in bugs.

Mobile Engineering FAQ

Practical answers to the most common questions about building a standout React Native resume.

Should I include Swift or Kotlin if I'm applying for a React Native role?

Absolutely. High-level React Native roles often require 'escaping' to native code. Mentioning your ability to write native modules or navigate Xcode and Android Studio directly makes you much more valuable than someone who only knows the JavaScript side.

How do I demonstrate I understand React Native performance?

Focus on the bridge, the threads, and the rendering cycle. Use specific terms like Hermes, JSI, Reanimated 2/3 (worklets), and interaction managers. Explain how you identified a bottleneck (e.g., using Flipper or the Profiler) and what you did to fix it.

Does my React Native resume need to show web experience too?

While not strictly necessary, showing experience with 'React Native for Web' or shared business logic in a monorepo is a huge plus. It shows you understand how to build scalable, platform-agnostic architectures.

What is the biggest mistake senior mobile developers make on their resumes?

Failing to mention the specific mobile challenges they solved. Don't just say you built a screen; talk about how you handled offline sync, push notification deep-linking, or tricky keyboard-avoiding views on different screen sizes.

How should I list my technical skills to pass ATS filters?

Group them logically: Languages (TypeScript, Swift), Frameworks (React Native, Redux), and Mobile-specific tools (Fastlane, Bitrise, CocoaPods). This ensures both the bot and the human recruiter can find what they need in seconds.

Is it worth mentioning specific libraries like Reanimated or Skia?

Yes, because they signal you are working at the modern edge of the ecosystem. Being specific about using Reanimated for 60fps animations tells a hiring manager you care about the 'feel' of the app, not just the functionality.
