Claude Code Developer Philippines
Claude Code developer available across Philippines. I use Anthropic's AI as a build accelerator, not a substitute for architecture.
Claude Code generates Firebase integrations, Flutter screens, API layers. I design the data model, run penetration tests, and code the business rules that define your app. Manila's BPO tech scene, Cebu's startup hubs, Davao's remote teams: I ship fast without cutting corners.
Philippines has 110 million mobile users and a remittance economy that runs on apps. I build production systems that handle peak traffic during payday weekends and survive telco network flakiness.
Transparent rates.
Fixed price per phase. Payment in PHP or EUR. 50% upfront, 50% at delivery.

What Claude Code does in production.
Claude Code for Flutter apps
Claude Code writes your widget tree, state management wiring, Firebase CRUD operations. I review every generated file before commit.
You get a Flutter app that builds clean on iOS and Android. No magic, no lock-in. The codebase is yours to maintain or hand off to another dev.
AI-assisted Firebase backends
Claude Code scaffolds Cloud Functions, Firestore security rules, Algolia sync logic. I audit every permission surface and test edge cases manually.
Philippine telcos throttle heavily. I add retry logic, offline queues, and fallback paths so your app stays usable when Smart or Globe drops packets. See my work at AI app development.
MVP to Series A without rewrites
Claude Code accelerates the boring parts. I architect for scale from day one: sharded Firestore collections, CDN assets, rate-limited endpoints.
When you hit 100k users during a Shopee sale spike or a viral TikTok, the backend holds. No midnight rewrites, no downtime apologies to your community.
Claude Code writes code. I validate it.
I don't ship AI output blindly. Every Claude Code suggestion gets reviewed, tested, and refactored if needed. The result is clean, maintainable code that passes audit.

Claude Code questions from Philippines founders.
Claude Code generates the HTTP client and webhook handlers. I implement the signature validation, idempotency keys, and retry logic that payment gateways demand.
GCash and PayMaya both require server-side callbacks. I set up Cloud Functions to handle those, log every transaction, and reconcile mismatches. You get a payment flow that works even when the gateway times out during peak hours.
I work remote from Tbilisi. Time difference is manageable: I overlap with Manila afternoons and evenings.
If you need a kickoff meeting in Metro Manila, I can fly in for 3–5 days. Otherwise, Slack, Zoom, and Notion keep us aligned without the commute through EDSA traffic.
2 weeks for a catalog app with cart, checkout, GCash payment, and order tracking. 4 weeks if you add seller dashboards, inventory sync, or multi-currency support.
Claude Code handles product CRUD, Firestore indexes, image upload to Firebase Storage. I wire up the payment gateway, test refund flows, and make sure your app survives a Black Friday spike.
I catch it before deploy. Every Claude Code output goes through manual review, unit tests, and a staging environment that mirrors production load.
If a bug slips through, I fix it within 24 hours at no extra cost during the support window. After that, hourly rate applies unless you're on a retainer.
Yes. I add aggressive caching, lazy image loading, request batching, and offline-first Firestore queries.
Claude Code generates the boilerplate for offline sync. I tune the retry policies, compress payloads, and test on throttled connections that simulate provincial telco performance. Your app stays usable even when the signal drops to EDGE.
