About

Emmanuel Lubwama

I build mobile apps people trust—fintech wallets, community platforms, and real-time products shipped to production.

I'm Emmanuel—I've spent the last five years in production codebases where mistakes cost money or trust: payment flows, KYC, live data, and store releases—not slide decks.

I work mainly in React Native and Expo, and I ship Kotlin on Android and Swift on iOS when the product needs native surfaces or performance. Next.js covers the web properties I ship alongside mobile. I like small teams, clear ownership, and shipping in slices you can demo.

React Native · Expo · Kotlin · Swift · TypeScript · Redux · Firebase · Next.js · React · Tailwind CSS · Node.js · Express · Go · MongoDB

India–Africa Hackathon winner — UNESCO, November 2022. International hackathon recognition—one of the credentials I'm proudest to carry into rooms with engineers from anywhere in the world.
