What happens when talent isn't found, but forged?
The difference between a functional app and an intuitive experience isn't a framework—it's the architect behind the logic. We don't aggregate lists; we curate the minds responsible for India's fastest, most fluid mobile interfaces.
Cuiko Protocol
- 01. No automated scraping. Every profile is a verified placement or referral.
- 02. Technical depth tested against real-world latency budgets.
- 03. Soft skills audited: Communication is as critical as code architecture.
"We ignore the résumé noise. We map the logic."
Profile Visualizer
The Curated Roster
We operate on a referral-only basis. The developers listed in our internal database have been vetted not just for their ability to write code, but for their ability to solve product problems. We look for evidence of "Gesture Native" thinking—interfaces that feel like an extension of the human hand.
This isn't a repository of "available talent." It's a selection of architects and artists who understand that on mobile, space is the most expensive currency. They don't just reduce latency; they eliminate cognitive load.

Common Hiring Failures
The "CV Hire"
Failure: Hiring based on keyword matching.
Fix: We audit GitHub commits and actual app performance metrics.
The "Silent Coder"
Failure: Great output, zero communication.
Fix: Our vetting includes a mock product standoff to test articulation.
The "Recruiter Filter"
Failure: Technical nuance lost in translation.
Fix: Zero recruiter involvement. Direct technical-to-technical dialogue.
The Code & The Canvas
Profiles from the current roster
The Architect
Primary Stack: Kotlin, Coroutines, Multi-Module Architecture.
Philosophy: "Latency is a UI problem." This profile specializes in background processing that never interferes with the main thread. They build systems that scale from 100 to 1M users without refactoring.
Signature Move: Reducing APK size by 40% while increasing feature set.
The Touch
Primary Stack: SwiftUI, Core Animation, Haptics.
Philosophy: "Gesture Native." This profile obsesses over micro-interactions. The scroll physics, the velocity curves, the haptic feedback timing—every millisecond is tuned to feel like paper.
Signature Move: 60fps animations on 5-year-old hardware.
The Cuiko Lexicon
Terms used in our internal scoring system. If a developer speaks this language, they're on our radar.
Latency Budget
The strict allocation of milliseconds allowed for visual response to user input. We audit developers who treat this as a financial constraint.
Gesture Native
An interface that doesn't require a tutorial. The user knows how to navigate intuitively because the physics and touch targets are mapped to muscle memory.
States & Micro-interactions
Not just loading spinners. We score developers on how they handle empty states, error states, and the subtle feedback loops that keep a user engaged during wait times.
Render Jank
The enemy. Any dropped frame during scroll or animation. We reject developers who cannot explain how to eliminate it.
