Nijmegen
One engineer, from idea to the App Store.
Nijmegen's healthtech, research-driven teams, and B2B SaaS founders often work under tight constraints around privacy, regulation, and runway. A senior freelance mobile engineer handles the full lifecycle in one engagement: native or React Native build, back-end integration, store submission, and post-launch iteration.
The agency route
Separate specialists for discovery, design, iOS, Android, and QA — each billed independently.
Multiple handoffs between designer, project manager, and the developer writing the code.
Store-submission details are often addressed near the end of the project.
Maintenance retainers typically cover the full delivery team rather than ongoing development alone.
The Direct-to-Dev route
One senior mobile engineer, accountable for iOS, Android, back-end, and store submission.
Kickoff to TestFlight or Play Internal Testing in days, not sprints.
Native build pipelines, signing, and store assets included as part of the engagement.
Post-launch maintenance billed for actual work — no retained overhead.
Cross-platform where it pays. Native where it matters.
React Native and Flutter when a single codebase makes sense; Swift and Kotlin when the product needs genuine native depth.

React Native
One codebase, native on iOS and Android.

On campus, in the office, in the store.
Nijmegen is a short trip away, so on-site sessions at Novio Tech Campus or your own office are easy to arrange — not a logistical exercise. Pair on device bugs in person; ship builds to TestFlight async.
