I will create a cross platform mobile application or maintain, debug or add new features to an existing one.

I'm a JavaScript expert with over 8 years of professional experience, I use JavaScript/Typescript libraries and frameworks to create native or hybrid cross platform (Android/iOS and more) mobile applications with only one single code base, which is cost effective and easily scalable and maintainable.

If starting a project from scratch, this how we will proceed:

Understand the project

If the design is provided

If the design is not provided

Pick the tech stack that would work best for your use case

Setup the roadmap

Setup a feedback loop (depending on your availability)

Start building...

Note: I may abstract some of the steps or even add other ones depending on the client.

If I'm joining an existing team, in order to guarantee a successful collaboration, I always make sure to check these points:

Understand the product, industry and the targeted market

Get familiar with the collaborative tools used by the team i.e. Slack, Notion, Figma, Gitlab...

Blend in the company's culture to ease human interaction and build trust

Working on an ongoing project (a baby of one or many developers) is a bit tricky, here's what I do for a smooth onboarding and sustainability:

I do regular meetings with the relevant colleagues (or reverse engineering) to get familiar with the projects code base

I keep and build on top of the tools and patterns (that are not necessarily bad) already chosen by previous developers although I might dislike them

If it's not broken (or anti pattern) I don't fix it
