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.

Full-stack product engineer specializing in mobile apps and scalable backend systems. I build mobile apps for iOS and Android, from startup MVPs to production-grade apps that need a serious refactor. Whether you need a cross-platform app built with React Native, a clean architecture overhaul, or a web dashboard to complement your mobile product, I handle the full scope: UI, logic, APIs, and deployment. My process starts with understanding your users and business goals before writing a single line of code. I follow scalable architecture patterns, write clean, maintainable code, and communicate consistently throughout, so you always know where the project stands. Every delivery goes through thorough testing across devices before it reaches your users. If you're ready to build something solid or fix what's broken, send me a message with a brief overview of your project. I typically respond within a few hours and offer a free discovery call to make sure we're the right fit before you commit.

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.
