Mobile performance
Slow screens, frame drops, startup delays, memory pressure, and inconsistent behavior across Android and iOS.
Consulting for mobile product teams
I help mobile teams fix scaling problems before they become expensive.
If your app feels slower, releases feel riskier, or backend issues keep showing up in the product, I can help you sort the mess, set priorities, and make steady progress.
Why this exists
Most scaling issues in mobile are system issues.
As products grow, the pain usually shows up in the app first. Screens get slow, crashes rise, ratings drop, and release days become stressful.
In most cases, the root cause is spread across app code, API design, backend architecture, cloud setup, observability, and delivery process.
I look at the full picture and help you decide what to fix first so the team can move faster with less risk.
Common problems
Where I usually help teams the most.
Backend scalability
APIs that slow down under load, weak caching, database pressure, queue problems, and fragile integrations.
Delivery bottlenecks
Releases that feel risky, unclear ownership, hard to test flows, and architecture that slows the whole team down.
Services
Focused engagements built for real progress.
Mobile and Backend Scalability Audit
A focused review of your app, backend services, APIs, cloud setup, observability, release process, and top scaling risks.
- Architecture and risk review
- Mobile/backend bottleneck analysis
- Prioritized technical roadmap
- Quick wins and strategic fixes
Performance and Reliability Rescue Sprint
A short practical engagement for teams dealing with urgent performance, reliability, scaling, or release stability issues.
- Performance diagnostics
- Backend reliability review
- Caching and resiliency improvements
- Implementation guidance
Fractional Mobile and Backend Architect
Ongoing architecture support for teams that need senior guidance without hiring a full time principal engineer.
- Architecture decision support
- Technical roadmap reviews
- Mentoring and engineering guidance
- Monthly advisory sessions
Best fit
I am most useful when the problem spans more than one area.
If the issue is only headcount, I may not be the right fit. I am most helpful when a team needs senior diagnosis, clear priorities, and architecture direction across mobile and backend systems.
Good fit if you have:
- An existing mobile product with real users
- Growing complexity across app and backend services
- Performance, reliability, or scaling concerns
- A mobile app and backend stack that is getting harder to scale
- A team that needs clearer technical direction
Relevant experience
Practical experience across mobile, backend, cloud, and distributed systems.
I work at the intersection of mobile product engineering and backend architecture, where many scaling problems actually live.
- Built and maintained production mobile applications
- Worked deeply with backend services, caching, cloud infrastructure, and reliability patterns
- Supported major mobile app modernization and migration efforts
- Designed resilient microservices and service orchestration workflows
- Experienced with mobile performance, async execution, and platform specific behavior
- Comfortable reviewing both code level issues and system level architecture
Selected results
Representative outcomes from production systems.
Reduced API latency by about 30 to 50% through caching strategy and query optimization.
Improved crash-free sessions by several percentage points with targeted mobile stability and performance fixes.
Reduced release rollback frequency by strengthening CI/CD quality gates and observability.
Helped raise app store rating from around 1 star to 4+ stars in about 2 months by improving stability and choosing better timing for in app review requests.
Results shown are representative, anonymized outcomes from production systems and are shared without confidential details.
Process
A simple way to work together.
01
Understand
We align on product context, architecture, team constraints, current symptoms, and business impact.
02
Review
I review the app, backend services, APIs, infrastructure, observability, release flow, and key architecture decisions.
03
Prioritize
You get a clear roadmap with quick wins, critical risks, and practical implementation steps.
