✳ A developer. And a few other things.
Hey, I’m Rohit.
I build apps that
feel good to use.
A frontend & mobile engineer with a soft spot for thoughtful interactions, open source, and figuring things out.
Currently, Founding Mobile Engineer at Tria
Founding Mobile Engineer / Tria · May 2024–present
A blank project.
Then, a whole app.
I built Tria’s React Native and Expo app from scratch—from the first architectural decisions to getting it into people’s hands through both app stores.
What began as a blank project now serves 50K+ monthly active mobile users across iOS and Android · September 2026. The app brings together cards, payments, wallets, trading, and earn experiences.
Built the foundations. App architecture, component patterns, and a design system with LLM support and documentation generated from component comments.
Connected the tricky parts. I worked on wallet integrations and Web3 compatibility across EVM and Solana, alongside integration patches and onboarding packages. I helped web developers find their feet in React Native; together, we built the initial app in two to three months.
Owned the path to release. Store submissions and reviews, EAS, GitHub Actions, and build notifications for the team’s QA workflow.
A little more under the hood +
My work included wagmi and WalletConnect for wallet integrations, Zustand for app state, Jest for automated tests, and Maestro for mobile end-to-end testing.
Managed the cycle from building to publishing: communicating with Apple and Google reviewers, submitting apps, and getting approvals. Automated builds and notified Slack channels when they were ready for QA.
Still in the making
The little things
are the big things.
A transition that feels natural. Feedback at just the right moment. Components that make the next screen easier to build.
I’ve been working on micro-animations throughout Tria as part of an upcoming app rework—bringing that same care to the details.
Motion rework · upcomingalways a work in progress. me, too.
Building in the open
Good tools are
better shared.
I care about the person building the interface, too. As a co-author of NativeBase and gluestack UI, I worked on component architecture, styling, and developer experience. That same curiosity runs through my contributions to StyleX and smaller tools of my own.
Sharing the things I learn
A note to myself.
A talk for everyone.
Sometimes the best way to understand something is to explain it. Here are a few conversations about the things I’ve been exploring.
GeekyAnts / May 2020 – May 2024
Learning by
making things.
I joined GeekyAnts as a trainee in May 2020 and grew into a Senior Software Engineer. Along the way, I helped build NativeBase v3, led small teams, and found my place between how an interface looks and how it works.
That curiosity led to Babel plugins, styling engines, and tools that make building for web and mobile a little better. In May 2024, I took those lessons to Tria.
The chapters within that chapter +
Trainee (May 2020–July 2021): built NativeBase v3 components and interfaces for APIbeats.
Software Engineer (July 2021–July 2022): led a three-person team on startup+, developed a NativeBase Babel plugin, and helped turn Storybook examples into design systems.
Software Engineer 3 (July 2022–July 2023): worked on NativeBase performance, gluestack’s styling engine, and plugins for a universal JavaScript framework.
Senior Software Engineer (July 2023–May 2024): co-authored gluestack UI, led a team building example screens, and built an internal AI code-generation tool with live previews and versioning.
A few side quests
There’s a person
behind the pixels.
Away from the keyboard, I’m usually playing guitar, singing, or getting into a game. A different kind of flow, with a little less debugging.
Always curious about good interfaces, interesting tools, and what people are making.
