Bilal Bakhrom

Senior iOS & React Native Engineer. AI native. 30+ apps shipped.

I have written Swift for ten years and shipped more than 30 apps. I build for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro, and I ship React Native apps to both the App Store and Google Play.

I design in Figma too, so I can take a product from the first sketch to the store release. I plan, build and review with Claude Code and Codex, and AI written code goes through the same review gate as my own.

Lead iOS Engineer at EPAM Systems since 2021.
