I'm Mubarak Basha (MubarakNative) - a software developer, Android SDE, and open-source advocate focused on building in-production, reliable, and end-to-end software.

I’m best known as the developer of MBCompass, a modern FOSS compass and navigation app that ranks among the top results for “best compass app” on Google and holds the #1 spot in the FOSS compass category.

It has been featured on Product Hunt (#13 Product of the Day), Hit the Front Page of HN, Android Weekly, WeeklyOSM, and several indie tech communities.

I also write in-depth technical articles on Android internals, backend foundations, performance engineering, and practical open-source workflows. In hardware, my work includes the widely referenced Electret Mic Preamp MB-727.

If you search online as “MubarakNative” or “dev behind MBCompass.” , you’ll find everything I build.
