Currently engineering AI products at Apple. Outside of that, the last two cross-platform apps I shipped hit 1M+ downloads and 500K+ active users. I take 2-3 freelance projects at a time - if that sounds like the kind of engineer you are looking for, keep reading.

I am Muhammad Talha. I am a Senior React Native and Full-Stack Engineer with 12+ years of production-grade product experience. By day I build and ship AI products at Apple. On Upwork I have 167+ completed contracts, 13,770+ hours logged, 100% Job Success Score, and Top Rated Plus status.

What my two biggest independent products look like:

Plaito AI - AI tutoring platform, 1M+ downloads, in 40+ countries, OpenAI-powered adaptive learning, built end-to-end in React Native.

Pip Pip Yalah - Morocco's #1 carpooling platform, 500K+ active users, real-time GPS tracking, driver and fleet management, React Native and Node.js.

$700K+ earned on Upwork. 78% of my contracts run longer than 90 days. The clients who start with me tend to stay.

Why Work With Me

I build cross-platform products that work on iOS and Android from a single codebase - no performance compromises, no duplicated work. One codebase, both stores, shipped.

Before I write a single line of code, I write a technical spec. You see exactly what is being built, why, and in what order. No surprises at week 8.

I use AI-assisted engineering workflows daily - the same approach I apply at Apple - to cut iteration time by 30-40% on complex builds without touching code quality. You get more, faster.

I do not take every project. I take projects where the scope is clear, the timeline is real, and I can make a measurable difference. That means I ask direct questions before we start - the most expensive mistake in software is building the wrong thing.
