Amir

Amir is a senior developer based in India — and honestly, the reason LockIn and Simplifly actually shipped.

What He Means to Me

Every builder needs that one person who's been through the trenches and can tell you "no, don't do it that way" before you waste three days. That's Amir for me. He's the first real engineer I've worked with — someone who writes production code, not tutorial code.

I was 14 when I started working with him. I'd send him broken Xcode screenshots at midnight and he'd hop on a Google Meet at 1am IST to walk me through it. No judgment, no "you should already know this." Just patience and real knowledge.

He taught me what MVC architecture actually means in practice, not just theory. He set up my first CI/CD pipeline. When Apple's certificate system almost made me quit (provisioning profiles are genuinely evil), Amir fixed it. When Stripe integration felt impossible, Amir made it click.

He works across timezones and takes late-night calls to debug production issues. That kind of dedication changed how I think about mentorship.

How We Work

Amir is remote — sharing screens via Google Meet, reviewing code through GitHub, debugging over WhatsApp. Our collaboration started around August 2025 with early LockIn development. By now it's second nature. I build, I get stuck, I call Amir, we fix it, I learn something new.

The biggest thing he gave me isn't code — it's the confidence that I can build real things. Not toy projects. Real, shipped, App Store products.
