I ship mobile products end-to-end

Emmanuel Lubwama

I'm Emmanuel Lubwama—a mobile engineer (React Native, Kotlin, Swift) based in Kampala, Uganda. I've worked with distributed remote teams since 2021 and have spent five years in production codebases where ownership means shipping to the App Store, not polishing internal demos.

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.
