Soul33 – The Beacon
Spirituality, Meditation & Mindfulness Platform
I build across the full mobile and web spectrum. On mobile I specialise in React Native and TypeScript — shipping production apps to the App Store and Google Play with real-time data layers, native module integrations, AR experiences, and smooth 60fps UIs powered by Reanimated and the new architecture.
On the web I architect fast, SEO-ready React platforms with Vite, Tailwind, and a strong component-design discipline — optimising for Core Web Vitals, accessibility (WCAG), and developer experience. Whether it's a marketing site, admin dashboard, or e-commerce storefront, I ship code that scales with the team.
Combined contributions across personal & company accounts — including private repositories.
End-to-end mobile builds — architecture, screens, state, native integrations, and store releases on iOS + Android.
Major-version React Native upgrades (0.71 → 0.82+), New Architecture migrations, and legacy codebase modernisation without halting feature work.
WebSocket chat with reconnection, FCM + Notifee push, Crashlytics, Remote Config force/soft updates, and Analytics funnels.
Profile-driven fixes for jank, slow FlatLists, memory leaks, and re-render storms — Reanimated worklets, memoization, FastImage, and selector tuning.
Reproducible Gradle + CocoaPods build scripts, signing, ATT, PrivacyInfo, ProGuard, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and beta/production env switching.
Pair on Redux patterns, TypeScript, performance, and review culture — trained 100+ developers and sped up sprint delivery on the teams I led.
Direct words from founders, scrum masters, and clients I've shipped production work with.
In fifteen years of running EC Infosolutions I've worked with a lot of developers. Neelesh is one of the very few I'd hand a client-facing build to and not feel the need to check in for weeks. He's owned production apps across wellness, social, and e-commerce for us, and quietly raised the bar for the rest of the mobile team along the way.
Working with Neelesh on the Soul33 upgrades was the easiest part of running those sprints. He'd come into planning with realistic estimates, surface dependencies before they became blockers, and consistently land what he committed to by the demo. The 0.71 to 0.82 jump could have eaten a quarter — it didn't, and that's mostly down to him.
We came to Neelesh with a pretty ambitious brief — a yoga social app with reels, live classes, and a community feed — and he figured most of it out without us having to micromanage. Updates were steady, the timeline didn't slip, and the app shipped close to what we'd pitched in our very first calls. That part honestly almost never happens.
Neelesh was one of those rare hires who ships and teaches at the same time. He owned our digital business card platform end-to-end on Next.js, then ran React Native sessions for the rest of the team in parallel. If he said something would land Friday, it landed Friday — that part stuck with me long after he moved on.

Looking for a developer who covers both React Native mobile apps and React web platforms? I'm open to full-time roles, freelance projects, and collaborations.
