Nice to have: 

• Transitioned a codebase from Angular / Ionic Capacitor to React Native and Angular.js to React.js; this would be a huge positive.  

• Experience building and maintaining a white label mobile application and/or SaaS product that is branded and released for multiple clients. 

• Full-stack web development experience with Node.js and/or GraphQL
