I build production Flutter apps for iOS and Android, with a specialty in AI voice agents that place real phone calls — not chatbots that only type in a window. WHAT I DO • Flutter mobile apps (iOS + Android, App Store / Google Play pipeline) • AI call automation with VAPI and secure cloud backends (Firebase / Cloud Functions) • Real telephony-style flows: outbound calling, appointments, bill payments, rent collection, customer support, negotiation follow-ups • Clean architecture so products ship and hold up when real users depend on them WHAT I’VE BUILT I’m the sole developer behind Mickter Solutions and the creator of RYAN (R.Y.A.N. — Representing You As Needed), an AI calling assistant that dials utilities, banks, and service providers on the user’s behalf. I also build Taylor, a B2B PropTech-style AI calling product for property managers and small businesses — automated outreach, account/tenant context on calls, and a production mobile dashboard. Public product showcases on GitHub (architecture + stack; production source stays private for security): • Link is in the UpWork linked accounts to see. STACK I SHIP WITH Flutter · Dart · VAPI · Firebase / Cloud Functions · Node.js · iOS App Store Connect · Provider / GoRouter · practical Python tooling when needed HOW I WORK Marine veteran. Disciplined, direct communication, no fluff. I care about clear scope, solid code, and apps that work when real people use them — not demos that only look good in a slide deck. BEST FIT PROJECTS • Flutter MVP or full app that needs to ship • AI voice assistant / outbound call automation • Mobile + backend so keys and call logic stay secure off-device • Features that save users time: hold time, scheduling, collections, support routing If that’s what you’re building, send a short note with: 1) the goal, 2) iOS / Android / both, 3) whether you need voice calling or mobile only. I’ll tell you straight if I’m a fit and how I’d approach it
