Are you building an Android app and need a developer who actually delivers clean, production-ready code — not just something that works in a demo? I'm a native Android developer with 4+ years of hands-on experience building apps in Kotlin and Java that are scalable, maintainable, and ready for real users. I specialize in modern Android development — Jetpack Compose, MVVM/Clean Architecture, Firebase, and REST API integration — and I care deeply about writing code that's easy to extend, not just easy to ship. Here's what I bring to your project: ✅ Native Android apps built with Kotlin/Java, Jetpack Compose, and the full Android SDK ✅ Firebase integration — Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Crashlytics, FCM push notifications ✅ REST API consumption with Retrofit, proper error handling, and offline-first architecture ✅ Clean Architecture & MVVM patterns — your codebase stays maintainable as you scale ✅ Google APIs — Maps, Places, Drive ✅ Local data with Room, SQLite, and Realm ✅ Third-party SDK integrations — payments, social auth, analytics, and more ✅ Secure, performant builds with Proguard/R8 and Gradle (Groovy & Kotlin DSL) I've worked on apps across healthcare, fintech, and consumer categories — including real-time messaging systems, POS platforms, and data-heavy mobile experiences. I write code I'm not embarrassed to show, communicate proactively throughout a project, and don't disappear after delivery. If you need someone who treats your app like a product — not just a task — let's talk.

Most mobile developers can ship an app. Most AI developers can wire up an API. I do both — which means I build mobile apps that are genuinely intelligent, not just polished wrappers around forms. I help founders, product teams, and agencies launch production-ready iOS and Android apps powered by the Anthropic Claude API: AI chatbots, document analyzers, smart assistants, agentic workflows, and automation features that would normally require a separate backend team. What I build: • FlutterFlow and Flutter apps with embedded Claude AI features — chat, summarization, document Q&A, smart recommendations, voice-to-text workflows, and personalized onboarding. • Custom Dart code injected into FlutterFlow projects when no-code hits its ceiling — clean architecture, Riverpod or Provider state management, and App Store / Play Store deployment. • Claude API backends on Python (FastAPI) or Node.js — function calling, tool use, RAG pipelines, MCP servers, and secure prompt orchestration. • Firebase, Supabase, Stripe, RevenueCat, OneSignal, Algolia, and HealthKit integrations for production mobile apps. • Automation layers using Claude Code, Claude Cowork, n8n, and Make to connect mobile apps to Xero, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and internal tools. Why clients hire me: Top Rated Plus on Upwork, 96% Job Success Score, $200K+ earned across 58+ projects. One developer covers both the mobile front-end and the AI backend — no coordination overhead, no contractor handoff gaps. Milestone-based delivery, daily Slack or Loom updates, and clean handoff documentation on every engagement. Send an invite with a short description of what you're building. I'll come back with a realistic plan, timeline, and recommended stack — and tell you honestly whether FlutterFlow is the right tool, or whether native Flutter or a hybrid backend approach will serve you better.
