React Native App With Firebase

I am building a new cross-platform mobile product and plan to base it on React Native for the client and Firebase for all backend services—authentication, real-time database, cloud functions, and storage. The project also calls for a polished UI created in Figma before a single line of code is written. While React Native and Firebase are my first choices, I am open to hearing how Flutter or Supabase might add value if you have a compelling case.

Scope at a glance
• Design: Wireframes through to interactive, developer-ready Figma files that capture the complete user journey.
• Mobile: Clean, well-architected React Native code that feels native on iOS and Android, integrates smoothly with Firebase, and is ready for store submission.
• Backend: Secure Firebase setup—rules, functions, analytics, and automated deployments.

What I need from you
When you reply, link me directly to past work that best matches any of the three pillars above. A short note explaining your exact contribution on each project will make evaluation fast and fair for everyone.

I value clear communication, incremental delivery, and code or design that another professional could pick up without guesswork. If that sounds like your normal way of working, let’s talk details.
