Kevin van der Schans — React Native Engineer & Mobile Developer

Mobile stack ownership. Clean Architecture, quality-gated releases, end-to-end observability.

Based in Málaga, Spain — available for remote & on-site mobile roles.

About: Mobile engineering, end to end

Before mobile, I founded and led the European technical verification team at a Norwegian company operating across Europe — validating 60+ installations daily across Norway, Sweden and Spain. I learned precision, cross-country coordination, and how to build workflows teams could rely on.

Today, from Málaga, I build mobile products where the app is the core experience. I specialise in the engineering around the code: instrumentation that catches regressions before users do, releases gated by data and documentation that outlives its author.

Experience: Where I've built and shipped product

Teams where I owned the mobile stack.

React Native Engineer · Avarda Bank

I work on the company's two React Native apps: one on Expo Bare Workflow, one on Managed Workflow with EAS.

  • Observability with OpenTelemetry across the JS and native iOS/Android layers — anticipating and preventing errors before users do.
  • CI/CD quality gates that guard every App Store and Google Play release.
  • Documentation system adopted across 12 departments, keeping the mobile team aligned with the rest of the bank.

Avarda is a Swedish digital bank specialising in white-label checkout for Nordic retailers. Their payment layer stays invisible — cards, wallets and BNPL — so each retailer keeps the buying experience end-to-end inside their own.

React Native Developer · SendingBay

I built the driver app of Bestmile, SendingBay's last-mile delivery platform.

  • AI-optimised real-time routing with in-app turn-by-turn navigation.
  • Offline maps with MapLibre so navigation survives when connectivity drops.
  • Clean Architecture, unit tests, error and performance monitoring, and UX analytics.

SendingBay builds Bestmile: a last-mile delivery platform with optimised routing, live tracking and paperless proof of delivery.

React Native Developer · Tca-tik

I built the iOS and Android app of an on-demand services marketplace developed at the agency.

  • Advanced discovery filters, real-time chat and in-app payments.
  • Clean Architecture from day one, with Redux for state management.
  • UI built with NativeWind and accessibility considered from the start.

Tca-tik is a digital agency and ICT consultancy based in the Canary Islands, building custom web, mobile and marketing solutions for clients across Spain.

Technical Verifier · Sector Alarm

I founded and led Sector Alarm's European technical verification department — five years that shaped how I work today.

  • Remote coordination, international ops and process design — the ground that later translated into engineering.

Sector Alarm is one of Europe's leading home-security providers, protecting more than 680,000 homes and businesses across Spain, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Ireland with 24/7 alarm monitoring.
