DiBird — Birdwatching Platform

A production birdwatching app built entirely by me: React Native mobile client, Django REST backend, PostgreSQL database, push notifications, releases to both stores, localization, and ongoing maintenance. 11,250+ species dataset, production users, App Store + Google Play releases.

Mobile app

React Native + Expo app published to App Store and Google Play from a single codebase. Offline sync, push notifications, map integration, community leaderboard, English + Russian localization, runtime language switching, light/dark/auto theme, Face ID lock.

Backend

Custom Django REST API with PostgreSQL. Handles authentication, observations, 11,250+ species data, user statistics, privacy-first location handling (observations shifted 6×6 km), field diaries, leaderboards.

Why work with me

What you actually get

📦
Shipped, not just coded
DiBird is live in both stores and actively used. I know the full path from first commit to production release, including App Store review friction.
🔁
Full ownership, no handoffs
I handle mobile, backend, and releases myself. No coordination overhead between multiple developers.
💬
Async-friendly, low overhead
Part-time and remote by design. I communicate clearly, deliver incrementally, and stay on track without hand-holding.
🛡️
Production-safe changes
I prioritize stability: no broken releases, incremental changes, and safe rollback strategy.
How it works

Working together

1️⃣
You send the issue or project
Share your bug, feature request, or scope. If needed, we do a short call.
2️⃣
I review and confirm approach
I check the codebase, propose an approach, and confirm scope and timeline.
3️⃣
I ship iteratively
I start with the highest-risk part and deliver incrementally until release.
Existing projects
Already have a React Native app?

I can join an existing codebase, investigate bugs, add features, upgrade Expo SDK, improve releases, and maintain your application long-term.
