Claude Code developer available across Nigeria. I use Anthropic's AI as a code generation engine, not a substitute for engineering judgement.
Claude Code writes Firebase function templates, Flutter widget scaffolding, REST client logic. I decide the architecture, audit every authentication flow, and implement the business rules that separate your app from the competition. Lagos fintech ecosystem, Abuja enterprise clients, Port Harcourt logistics platforms: I ship code that works under African connectivity constraints.
Nigeria's tech market is Africa's largest. Flutterwave and Paystack proved Nigerian engineers can build for global scale. I deliver apps that handle intermittent networks, multiple payment rails, and regulatory complexity without breaking.
Fixed scope, milestone-based payment. 30% upfront, balance on delivery. Naira invoices available for Nigerian companies.
Claude Code generates Paystack and Flutterwave SDK boilerplate in minutes. I add the retry logic, webhook verification, and transaction reconciliation that prevent money from vanishing into pending states.
Lagos fintech moves fast. I deliver testable payment flows in weeks, not quarters.
Claude Code scaffolds Firestore offline persistence and local SQLite caching. I tune the conflict resolution, implement exponential backoff, and design UI states that don't confuse users when connectivity drops mid-transaction.
Nigerian users expect apps to work on Edge. I make sure yours does.
Claude Code writes the initial Firestore security rules and admin CRUD panels. I add the audit logs, IP whitelisting for sensitive operations, and session management that enterprise clients in Abuja actually require before signing contracts.
One audit found a client's previous contractor left admin endpoints wide open. I closed three privilege escalation paths in 48 hours. For a detailed case study, see my AI app security work.
<p>Claude Code handles repetitive patterns. I validate every architectural choice, run manual security reviews on authentication surfaces, and implement the domain logic that makes your product defensible.</p><p>The AI doesn't decide if your Firestore rules are too permissive. I do.</p>

| Lagos agency | Upwork dev | Hugo + Claude Code | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP delivery time | 12-16 weeks | 8-12 weeks | 4-6 weeks |
| Claude Code integration | None, manual coding only | Copy-paste without audits | Systematic, validated workflow |
| Security audits included | Add-on service, ₦8M+ | Not offered | Built into every delivery |
| Firestore rules review | Junior dev writes them | Copied from tutorials | Penetration-tested before deploy |
| Offline sync for Nigeria networks | Extra sprint, ₦3-5M | Not implemented | Standard in every build |
| Code ownership | Yours after final payment | Immediate | Immediate, Git from day one |
Claude Code eliminates 60% of the grunt work: Firebase setup, widget boilerplate, API client generation, state management wiring. A traditional dev in Lagos spends three weeks building what Claude Code scaffolds in three hours.
I use that time savings to focus on security audits, offline sync tuning, and business logic. You get a better app, faster, for less money.
The AI writes structure. I write the code that makes your app different from the competition.
Yes. Claude Code generates the initial SDK wrappers, webhook handlers, and transaction models. I add retry logic for failed charges, implement idempotency keys to prevent double-debits, and write the reconciliation queries your finance team needs.
Nigerian payment rails are messy. Card declines, bank transfer delays, USSD timeouts: I've handled all of them in production. Claude Code gives me a head start. Experience ensures it works under load.
No. I work remotely from Tbilisi. Video calls, Slack, shared Figma boards, and live Firebase console sessions cover 99% of collaboration needs.
If you need someone on-site in Nigeria, I'm not the right fit. If you need fast delivery, clean code, and an engineer who responds in your timezone, I am.
I catch it before deploy. Every Claude Code output goes through manual review: architecture validation, security audit, unit tests, integration tests, and a staging environment that mirrors prod configuration.
If a bug slips through, I fix it under the original contract. No upsell, no blame-shifting. I own the code quality, whether the AI wrote the first draft or I did.
Yes, but only if the existing codebase is clean. Claude Code accelerates development on well-architected projects. It multiplies tech debt on messy ones.
I start with a 2-hour audit. If your app has inconsistent state management, missing tests, or hardcoded API keys, I'll recommend a refactor sprint before integrating Claude Code into the workflow.
Garbage in, faster garbage out. I won't sell you a workflow that makes your codebase worse.
<p>Tell me what you're building. I'll send you a fixed-price quote, a realistic timeline, and a sample architecture doc so you know exactly what you're buying.</p><p>No sales call required. No 'discovery phase' upsell. Just a straight answer.</p>
