Avi Mastov worked as a mobile developer for 10 years in various startup companies, mostly on native iOS and Android codebases. He watched cross platform environments rise and fall with large skepticism. A few months ago he started working for Lumen and learned Flutter development. Now he thinks that cross platform development does have a future!
