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 projects at a time - if that is the kind of engineer you are looking for, keep reading.
I am Muhammad Talha. Senior React Native and Full Stack Engineer with 12 years of production-grade product experience. I build and ship AI-powered mobile apps and SaaS platforms that reach real users and scale past launch.
The apps I have shipped are live right now:
Plaito AI - AI tutoring platform. 1M+ downloads across 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, driver and fleet management. React Native and Node.js.
These are not mockups. These are production apps with real users, live right now.
$700K+ earned on Upwork. 195 contracts completed. 78% of my contracts run longer than 90 days. The founders who start with me tend to keep building with me.
What I build:
React Native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase - no performance compromises, no duplicated work, both stores, shipped
Full stack web with Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript
AI integrations - OpenAI, Gemini, Claude API, custom AI pipelines, in-app AI features
SaaS platforms, marketplaces, fintech, healthtech, edtech
Technical specs before a single line of code - you see exactly what is being built and in what order
What is different about working with me:
Before I write 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.
When I take a contract, I treat the codebase like I will be maintaining it for two years. Because I usually am.
195 contracts. 13,770+ hours. $700K+ on Upwork. 100% JSS. Top Rated Plus. AI Engineer at Apple.
Muhammad T. earns an estimated $17k/mo. That's 15.1× the typical freelancer and more than 99.97% of everyone we track.
If you are building or scaling a React Native app, SaaS product, or AI-powered mobile platform and need an engineer who operates at that level - send a message. I respond within a few hours.
