Haardik Trivedi - iOS Engineer

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t rejection… it’s losing an opportunity you already believed was yours.

A few days ago, I received an offer for a Senior React Native Developer role after clearing all 3 technical rounds and multiple discussions with the CEO.
Everything was finalized, the offer letter was signed, and for the first time in months, I finally felt some relief after from startup shutdown.

I genuinely thought things were getting back on track.

But 3 days later, I received another email:

“Withdrawal of Offer Letter.”

No proper explanation.
Just like that, the opportunity disappeared.

After being laid off and spending months preparing, interviewing, staying positive, and trying to support my family as the sole earner, this one hurt more than usual.

I know companies have their own reasons and decisions, but sometimes we forget there’s a human being on the other side—someone carrying responsibilities, pressure, and hope.

Still… I’m trying not to lose faith.

Maybe this post reaches the right person.
Maybe the right opportunity is still waiting.

With 11+ years in Mobile App Development, I’m actively looking for remote opportunities in:
• Native iOS
• React Native/ React JS
• Flutter

Available to join immediately.

If anyone knows of openings, referrals, or opportunities, I would truly appreciate your support.

🧭 Expo Router in React Native — Navigation That Finally Makes Sense

Navigation has always been one of the trickiest parts of React Native apps — stacks, tabs, deep links, config files, edge cases.
Expo Router changes that mindset completely.

Instead of configuring navigation, you structure it.

What stands out with Expo Router:
✅ File-based routing — your folder structure is your navigation
✅ Built-in deep linking — no extra setup or confusion
✅ Cleaner mental model — screens live where routes live
✅ Nested layouts — tabs, stacks, auth flows feel natural
✅ Type-safe routes — fewer runtime surprises

Coming from native iOS navigation (UINavigationController / SwiftUI NavigationStack), Expo Router feels refreshingly familiar — predictable, declarative, and easier to reason about.

It doesn’t remove complexity — it organizes it.
And that’s exactly what scalable apps need.

If you’re building a new React Native app (or refactoring navigation), Expo Router is absolutely worth considering.

Have you tried Expo Router yet, or are you still on React Navigation config-heavy setups?
