Claude Code developer available in Ghana. I use Anthropic's AI as a code generator, not a decision-maker.
Claude Code writes Firebase Cloud Functions, Flutter CRUD scaffolding, API integrations. I validate architecture, run penetration tests, and implement the payment flows that convert users. Accra's tech hubs, Kumasi's growing startup scene, or fully remote: the process stays identical.
Ghana's mobile-first economy runs on apps that work offline and handle flaky connectivity. I ship code that degrades gracefully, syncs when the network returns, and doesn't drain battery on budget Android devices.
Fixed-price sprints. Payment in two installments: 50% upfront, 50% at delivery. Bank transfer or Wise accepted.
Ghana's internet is unreliable outside Accra. Claude Code generates the Firestore offline persistence setup and sync queue logic in minutes. I configure conflict resolution, implement retry with exponential backoff, and test on throttled 2G.
Your users in Kumasi or Tamale won't see loading spinners. The app queues writes locally, syncs when connectivity returns, and shows cached data instantly.
MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo Money: Ghana's payment rails are fragmented and each provider has quirky callback timing. Claude Code scaffolds the webhook handlers and transaction status polling. I implement idempotency keys, handle duplicate callbacks, and build the reconciliation dashboard.
I've debugged MTN's staging environment enough times to know which errors mean retry vs escalate. You get payment flows that don't lose money when APIs hiccup.
Firebase pricing hurts when you scale in emerging markets with thin margins. Claude Code writes the Cloud Functions and Firestore structure. I add read caching, batch writes, and index tuning to cut your monthly bill by 40-60%.
One fintech client in Accra was burning $800/month on redundant document reads. After optimization: $290/month for the same traffic. That's the difference between profitable and broke at seed stage. Need a dev who uses Claude Code for architecture, not essays? Check my AI app development workflow.
<p>Claude Code writes 60-70% of the codebase. I write the other 30%: architecture decisions, security-critical paths, complex state machines, payment reconciliation logic.</p><p>Every Claude Code output gets reviewed line by line. I run static analysis, manual penetration tests, and load tests before anything touches production. The AI accelerates scaffolding. I guarantee the result doesn't collapse under real traffic.</p>

Yes. Claude Code generates the Firestore offline persistence config and sync queue scaffolding. I implement the conflict resolution logic, retry policies, and local cache invalidation rules.
The result: your app works in Kumasi's spotty 3G, queues writes locally, and syncs transparently when the user hits WiFi in Accra. Offline-first is the default for every app I build in Ghana.
Yes. Claude Code scaffolds the webhook listeners and API client boilerplate. I handle the finicky parts: duplicate callback deduplication, transaction polling for delayed status updates, and reconciliation dashboards.
MTN's sandbox is notorious for timing issues. I've debugged it enough to know which errors warrant retry vs manual intervention. You get payment flows that don't lose customer money when the API acts weird.
185,000 GHS for a 3-week sprint. That includes Flutter app, Firebase backend, offline sync, Mobile Money integration, and a security review. Payment in two parts: 50% upfront, 50% at delivery.
Full production app with admin panel, user roles, and analytics: 370,000 GHS. Fixed price, no surprise invoices. If scope creeps, we discuss a change order before I write a single line.
I catch it before it ships. Every function Claude Code writes goes through manual review, static analysis with flutter analyze, unit tests, and integration tests on real Android devices.
If a bug slips through: I fix it for free within the 30-day post-launch window. If the architecture was wrong: that's on me, not the AI. I own the output, period.
Yes. I audit the codebase, identify performance bottlenecks (usually unindexed Firestore queries or redundant widget rebuilds), then refactor using Claude Code for repetitive changes.
One e-commerce app in Accra had 4-second cold-start time. After refactoring state management and lazy-loading images: under 1.5 seconds. Claude Code rewrote 60% of the widget tree; I rewrote the business logic and caching layer. Typical turnaround: 2-3 weeks.
