Bravo Life

Self-Development & Habit-Building App

A cross-platform self-development app built around a short daily loop: curated actions, a belief card, a journal prompt, a streak to protect, and a community feed of wins. Firebase carries auth, data and analytics, Cloud Functions schedule timezone-aware reminders, and CodePush ships fixes the day they land rather than after store review.

LocumForce

Healthcare Locum Staffing Marketplace

A two-sided healthcare staffing marketplace where locums find shifts and organisations fill them, from one React Native codebase. Gemini ranks jobs and candidates, Socket.IO carries the conversation, GPS check-in evidences attendance against the site, and Stripe Connect pays each professional directly.

RN Arch Check

React Native New Architecture Compatibility Checker

A zero-config CLI that checks every dependency in a React Native or Expo project against React Native Directory and reports which ones support the New Architecture. It sorts the report by what needs action, quotes npm deprecation notices the directory does not track, and exits non-zero only on a confirmed incompatibility so it can gate CI.

RN 16K

React Native 16 KB Page Size Checker

A zero-dependency CLI that decides whether a React Native Android app meets Android 15's 16 KB page size requirement. It resolves the transitive Maven graph that node_modules alone never shows, checks ELF segment and APK ZIP alignment without the Android SDK, and attributes every failing library back to the dependency that shipped it.

(03) — about

I work across the whole product: the React Native app people install, the Next.js dashboard the team runs it from, and the Node and MongoDB services that keep both honest. Owning the round trip means fewer meetings about whose side the bug is on.

I care about the frame budget on mobile and the time-to-first-byte on web, which end up being the same discipline — measure on real hardware and real connections, not on the machine you built it on.

(05) — questions

Answered plainly
01
Who is Mishal Ibrar?
Mishal Ibrar is a mobile and web developer based in Islamabad, Pakistan, working in React Native, Next.js and TypeScript. He has spent three years shipping production apps and the platforms behind them — including Bravo Life and LocumForce, both live on the App Store and Google Play — and publishes open-source command-line tools for React Native teams.
02
What does Mishal Ibrar build?
He builds the whole product rather than one layer of it: the React Native app people install, the Next.js dashboard the team runs it from, and the Node, MongoDB or Firebase services underneath. Recent work spans healthcare staffing, dental clinic management, fitness coaching, car wash operations and IoT wellness kiosks.
03
Which apps has Mishal Ibrar shipped to the app stores?
Two apps are publicly downloadable. Bravo Life (The Bravo Life: Delulu Sprint) is a habit and manifestation app rated 4.9 on the App Store, and LocumForce is a two-sided healthcare staffing marketplace for locum professionals and organisations. Both ship on iOS and Android from a single React Native codebase.
04
What open-source tools has Mishal Ibrar released?
Two command-line tools for React Native teams, both MIT-licensed and installable with npx. rn16k checks whether an Android app meets Android 15's 16 KB memory page size requirement, down to ELF segment and APK alignment. rn-arch-check checks every dependency in a project for New Architecture support and exits non-zero on a confirmed incompatibility, so it can gate CI.
05
Is Mishal Ibrar available for freelance or contract work?
Yes — he is available for work in 2026, for both new builds and existing codebases that need finishing. The quickest route is email at mishalibrar12@gmail.com with what you are building and the deadline you are working to; his CV is downloadable from the site as a PDF. He works remotely from Islamabad in Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5), which overlaps the European working day.
06
What is the React Native New Architecture, and does it matter for a new app?
The New Architecture is React Native's replacement for the old JavaScript-to-native bridge, made up of JSI, TurboModules and Fabric. It has been the default since React Native 0.76 and Expo SDK 52, so any new app is already on it, and any dependency without support is a live problem rather than a future one.
07
What is Android's 16 KB page size requirement?
Android 15 requires 64-bit apps to support devices using 16 KB memory pages, which means every native library an app ships has to be aligned for it. The requirement is easy to fail without noticing, because breaking libraries often arrive through transitive Maven dependencies that never appear in node_modules — which is the problem rn16k was built to make visible.
