Nikita Afanasiev — Head of Mobile & Engineering Manager

React Native Developer · AI Mobile Developer · Full-stack Developer · Node.js Backend Developer
Mobile Architect · AI Frontend Developer

As an Engineering Manager, React Native Developer, and AI Mobile Developer, I build mobile and frontend products, engineering teams, and platform capabilities that scale. My background combines hands-on React Native, React, Next.js, and native development with architecture, AI-assisted delivery, DevSecOps, Node.js backend systems, and engineering leadership.

Open to consulting and collaboration. I help teams launch, scale, stabilize, or modernize React Native, AI mobile, full-stack, and Node.js backend products—from technical strategy to production delivery.

Selected impact

  • 8+ years with React Native, from hands-on development to Head of Mobile
  • Led and developed a mobile engineering organization of 10+ engineers
  • Helped launch and scale products across 5+ international markets
  • Contributed to mobile products serving 2M+ users, including an Android app with 1M+ installs
  • Built a shared mobile platform, monorepo, reusable libraries, and standardized delivery workflows
  • Introduced Mobile DevSecOps, CI/CD, GitOps, Release Train, observability, and release automation
  • Integrated Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and agent workflows into engineering delivery

What I focus on

  • Mobile architecture: React Native platforms, monorepos, native Android/iOS modules, SDK integrations
  • Engineering management: strategy, hiring, mentoring, career development, and team effectiveness
  • Delivery at scale: CI/CD, Mobile GitOps, release management, quality gates, and automation
  • Security and reliability: Secure SDLC, SAST, dependency analysis, observability, and performance
  • Platform engineering: shared libraries, Backend for Frontend, API orchestration, and developer experience
  • Node.js backend: APIs, BFF services, integrations, orchestration, and PostgreSQL-backed systems
  • Full-stack delivery: React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and products from MVP to production
  • AI mobile development: AI-enabled iOS and Android experiences, AI API integrations, and mobile UX
  • AI frontend engineering: React, Next.js, TypeScript, AI-enabled UX, and rapid product delivery
  • Agent-assisted engineering: spec-driven workflows that reduce lead time without compromising quality

I have worked across fintech, BNPL, digital lending, marketplaces, food delivery, field service, and content products—from early-stage MVPs to multi-market platforms.

Full-stack and Node.js backend development

I have hands-on full-stack experience across frontend applications, backend services, databases, integrations, deployment, and production support.

  • Build Node.js and TypeScript services, REST APIs, and Backend for Frontend layers
  • Design API orchestration and integration boundaries for mobile and web clients
  • Work with PostgreSQL-backed products and third-party platforms
  • Deliver React and Next.js interfaces together with their backend capabilities
  • Define architecture, documentation, testing, CI/CD, and deployment workflows
  • Take startup products from idea and MVP planning through production release

AI mobile, AI frontend, and agent-assisted delivery

I use AI as an engineering capability across the product lifecycle—not just as a code-completion tool. As an AI Mobile Developer and AI Frontend Developer, my focus is building production-ready mobile and frontend experiences while making delivery more structured, testable, and efficient.

  • Build React, Next.js, and cross-platform product interfaces with TypeScript
  • Turn product requirements into executable specifications and implementation plans
  • Use coding agents for scoped implementation, refactoring, testing, and documentation
  • Add automated quality gates so AI-generated changes remain reviewable and reliable
  • Design AI-enabled mobile and frontend experiences and integrate existing AI APIs into products
  • Improve developer experience with reusable prompts, workflows, and engineering automation

This work is focused on AI-enabled product engineering and agent-assisted delivery rather than training foundation models or conducting ML research.

Featured open source

An open-source React Native TurboModule for collecting raw device intelligence on Android and iOS. It exposes root and jailbreak indicators, emulator and instrumentation traces, VPN/proxy state, hardware, locale, application, and runtime signals—without assigning a client-side risk verdict.
