Claude Code Developer United Kingdom
Claude Code developer based in Tbilisi, available across United Kingdom. I use Anthropic's AI as a refactoring engine, not a crutch.
Claude Code handles Firebase boilerplate, Flutter widget trees, API mapping. I design the architecture, audit every security surface, and write the domain logic that makes your product different. London's fintech quarter, Manchester's scaleup scene, Edinburgh's regulated markets: I've deployed code in all three.
UK clients expect engineering rigour. I deliver apps that pass PCI-DSS audits, scale past Series A traffic spikes, and survive a hostile code review.
Transparent rates.
Fixed-price packages. 50% upfront, 50% at delivery. GBP invoices, PayPal or Wise transfer.

What I build with Claude Code in UK.
Fintech MVPs that pass compliance
London's FCA-regulated fintech scene doesn't tolerate shortcuts. Claude Code generates Firebase Auth flows, transaction logging, audit trail boilerplate. I implement the business rules, test edge cases, and document compliance checkpoints.
Delivered: neobank prototype, crypto wallet MVP, invoice factoring platform. All passed third-party penetration tests before launch.
Insurtech and healthtech apps
Manchester and Edinburgh host mature insurtech clusters. Claude Code scaffolds policy quote engines, claims submission flows, document upload pipelines. I design the state machines, handle GDPR consent flows, and integrate with legacy SOAP APIs that predate REST.
One healthtech client needed NHS data integration. Claude Code wrote the HL7 FHIR parsers. I validated the clinical logic with their medical advisors.
B2B SaaS dashboards
Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds: growing B2B SaaS markets. Claude Code generates CRUD screens, table pagination, CSV export utilities. I architect the multi-tenant data model, implement role-based access, and optimise Firestore queries that were costing £400/month in reads.
Your dev team gets clean, maintainable code. No mysterious AI magic, no technical debt time bomb. Just Flutter widgets and Firebase rules they can extend without me. For more on this workflow, check my AI development approach.
Claude Code writes. I decide.
AI generates thousands of lines per hour. I review every security boundary, every state transition, every Firebase rule. The output is production-grade because a human validates the architecture, not because AI is magic.

Claude Code developer in United Kingdom: your questions.
No. Claude Code is a code generator, not a legal advisor. It writes Firebase security rules, authentication flows, audit logging boilerplate.
I interpret FCA guidance, map it to technical controls, and implement the logic that makes your app compliant. Claude Code speeds up the scaffolding. I own the regulatory decisions.
I'm based in Tbilisi and work 100% remote. UK timezone overlap is 3-6 hours depending on GMT/BST. I schedule calls between 9am-1pm London time, deliver async updates via Slack, and ship code that your UK team can maintain without me.
If you need daily standups or pair programming, we can make it work. But most UK clients prefer async: I code during their afternoon, they review in the morning, we iterate fast without Zoom fatigue.
Unit tests for business logic functions. Integration tests for Firebase callable functions and Firestore triggers. Manual security review of every authentication boundary, every Firestore rule, every Cloud Function that touches user data.
Claude Code writes the test scaffolding. I write the assertions that catch edge cases AI misses. One fintech client required 90% coverage: we hit 94% because I tested the failure paths Claude Code ignored.
It doesn't reach production. Every Claude Code output goes through manual code review, local testing, staging deployment. If a bug slips through, I fix it within 24 hours under the 2-month post-launch warranty.
Real scenario: Claude Code generated a Firestore query that worked in dev but timed out under load. I caught it in staging, rewrote the index strategy, and deployed a fix before launch. Your users never saw it.
Yes. Claude Code excels at repetitive refactors: migrating Provider to Riverpod, splitting a monolith into feature modules, adding null-safety to a legacy codebase.
I audit your existing code first, identify the high-risk surfaces, and use Claude Code to accelerate low-risk transformations. One UK SaaS had 40,000 lines of technical debt. Claude Code refactored 60% of it in two weeks. I reviewed every diff, tested critical paths, and documented the new architecture.
