Hi, I'm Faizan Gondal 👋

Software Developer · Full-Stack & Cross-Platform Applications · Mobile & Native Development · Developer Tools & Libraries

I enjoy building useful software and working across different areas of application development. My projects range from cross-platform desktop and mobile applications to native integrations, developer libraries, and web-based tools.

I focus on three connected areas:

• Cross-platform software: Building applications for desktop, mobile, and web with practical, maintainable user experiences.
• Mobile and native applications: Developing mobile apps, native modules, and platform integrations for Android and iOS.
• Developer tools and libraries: Creating reusable packages, extensions, SDK integrations, and tools that make development easier.

I also work on full-stack web projects and enjoy learning how frameworks, runtimes, and native platform APIs fit together.

🚀 Current Focus

• Building and improving cross-platform applications with Python, Flet, Go, and MyGo.
• Exploring React Native and Expo native modules and their Android integrations.
• Working with FFmpeg, FFprobe, yt-dlp, and media-processing workflows.
• Developing and maintaining reusable Flet extensions and Python packages.
• Exploring cross-platform UI frameworks and native desktop development.
• Contributing features, fixes, examples, and documentation to open-source projects.

🌐 Open-Source Contributions

I contribute to open-source projects through feature implementation, bug fixes, documentation, examples, and improvements to developer workflows.

• MyGo – Added my Video Downloader application to the official community showcase. PR #917 · Merged.
• Strapi Plugins – Implemented Markdown paste support for the Better Blocks editor, including CommonMark/GFM parsing and Markdown-to-Slate conversion. PR #84 · Merged.
• react-native-media-editor – Improved platform-support and native-architecture documentation, video-processing behavior, API references, and the Expo example guide. PR #7 · Merged; PR #9 · Open.
• Markdown2PDF – Contributed fixes for PDF output, editor theming, Markdown file saving, and the download experience. Merged PRs #9–#16.
• Awesome Flet – Added Flet applications, extensions, and demo projects to the community list. PR #27, #28, #29, #38, and #40 · Merged.
• munim-ffmpeg – Improved React Native subtitle-integration documentation, including soft subtitle embedding. PR #4 · Merged.
• ytdlp-react-native – Improved usage guidance, social-platform download notes, and FFmpeg integration documentation. PR #1 and PR #5 · Merged.
• react-native-codepad – Expanded installation instructions, API documentation, usage examples, and developer references. PR #2 · Merged.

I believe open-source work is not limited to writing new code. Improving an existing feature, fixing a real issue, documenting behavior clearly, and making a project easier for other developers to adopt are all valuable contributions.
