Experienced React Native CLI Developer Needed

I'm in need of a seasoned React Native CLI developer. I have a project that was delivered by a previous developer, but I'm encountering difficulties running it on my local machine.

Specific Issue:
- I'm facing the error: Task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED when attempting to run the project.

I've attempted some troubleshooting myself but to no avail.
