Shipping React Native at production scale for a decade.
I'm Mohamad Shafaat Khan, a mobile architect who owns platforms end to end: app, BFF, and the pipeline in between. Currently building the mobile + backend-for-frontend layer for AtHome's commerce app on GCP.

Research & papers
IEEE · ResearchGateA bit about me
I'm based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and I've spent close to a decade making sure the app in someone's hand actually works, through banking security scans, dealer geofencing, freight tracking, and checkout flows that can't afford to fail.
My background isn't only mobile. I came up through BI and data (MySQL, Tableau, Alteryx, predictive modeling), and I hold an MS in Software Engineering from San Jose State University. That data instinct still shows up in how I think about release health, monitoring, and what a "good" deployment actually looks like.
Outside of shipping code, I play cricket, I'm learning Urdu (a path that started with Mirza Ghalib's poetry), and I've got a long-running soft spot for classic South Asian cinema and underdog stories.
I want the apps I build to disappear: no crash, no lag, no reason to think about the plumbing at all. That's the whole job, as far as I'm concerned.
