Firebase development for React Native
Firebase is the quickest way to give a React Native app a real backend — authentication, a realtime database, push notifications and analytics — without standing up servers. Done carelessly, though, it leaks data and drains battery.
I integrate Firebase into React Native apps the right way: secure auth flows, sensible Firestore structure and rules, reliable push, and analytics you can actually act on.
Who this is for
- Apps that need login, user accounts and social sign-in done properly
- Products that need realtime or offline-capable data without a custom backend
- Teams that need push notifications and deep linking that actually work
- Anyone whose Firebase setup feels insecure, expensive or flaky
How I help
Authentication
Email/password, Google, Facebook and Apple sign-in, with proper session handling and secure token storage on device.
Firestore & realtime data
Data models that scale, sensible offline behaviour, and security rules that keep users out of each other's data.
Push & Cloud Messaging
Firebase Cloud Messaging with foreground/background handling, notification channels and deep linking straight into the right screen.
Analytics & Crashlytics
Event tracking and crash reporting wired in so you can see what users do and fix what breaks, before they churn.
