Founder and full-stack developer, available as a developer or fractional CTO. With a decade in software, I've worked with languages that require manual memory management and navigated everything from the era of monolithic servers to fully agentic "no-code" solutions. For me, understanding high-level operations and business models is a greater focus than specific coding choices. Architecture, business intent, trade-offs, design principles, maintainability, product positioning - these are the areas that shape a solution's real purpose. Understanding the foundations of a business and its product(s) is vital for modernisation. Using and implementing AI well in a solution is more than a RAG pipeline or semantic chatbots; it's about identifying what users find genuinely helpful and valuable, then adding functionality that increases the product's value where it matters. Not AI for the trend, AI with intention. I'm open to development work, a fractional CTO position, and consultations. Let's connect if you're interested. Industry experience: - FinTech - Communications - eCommerce - Data visualisation - Automation Skillset: - Frontend: Angular, AngularJS, TypeScript, JavaScript - Backend: Firebase, Firestore, GCP, Node.js, Java, Spring, Spring Boot, C#, ASP.NET - Mobile: Ionic - Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL, NoSQL - Testing: JUnit, Jest, Cypress - DevOps: GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins Additional skills: - WCAG compliance - Google Analytics - Agentic coding setup

I build production ready Android & IOS mobile apps for businesses and startups, using Flutter and FlutterFlow, from the early-stage MVPs to internal operational tools. My core stack includes Flutter, FlutterFlow, Dart, Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Realtime Database, Storage, Cloud Functions), REST APIs, and third-party integrations. Recent apps I've built include: 1) A building inspection app with 6 inspection workflows, offline data capture, engineer/admin roles, Firebase syncing, and automated PDF report generation. 2) An air-conditioning business management app with reports, quotations, timesheets, purchase orders, commissioning checklists, calendar workflows, and PDF generation. 3) Firebase-powered apps with authentication, role-based access, file uploads, real-time data, and custom FlutterFlow functionality. What I focus on with every project: — Clean, native-feeling UI on Android and iOS — Scalable Firebase and backend architecture — Real API integrations, not just static screens — Clear communication and realistic timelines — Taking projects from wireframe to Play Store/App Store deployment If you have an app idea, an existing FlutterFlow project that needs fixing, or a business process you want turned into an app, send me the details. I'll review the scope and tell you how I'd approach the build. Outside of client development, I run a technology and software-focused YouTube channel with over 17,000 subscribers, where I create tutorials and educational content around software, development, and technology. Creating technical content has also strengthened my ability to explain complex development decisions clearly, document workflows, and communicate effectively throughout a project.
