Hi! I'm Alvaro!

Álvaro Jiménez Martín

Mobile Engineer @ Meta

Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain · Remote

A quick introduction

About

I'm a Mobile Engineer at Meta, working remotely from Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain. I specialize in React Native and mobile development, with a background that spans full-stack JavaScript, blockchain solutions, and a variety of stacks including React, AngularJS, .Net, Java, and Android.

Over the years I've worked with startups, mid-size companies, and large corporations — from being one of the first five employees at a London startup to building mobile products used at global scale.

I'm committed to delivering high-quality, reliable software: whether it's building a new feature, fixing a tricky bug, or exploring what AI can do for mobile development.
