Claude Code developer available across United States. I use Anthropic's AI as a build accelerator, not a substitute for architecture.
Claude Code writes Firebase Functions scaffolding, Flutter CRUD patterns, REST client wrappers. I design the system, review every security boundary, and code the business logic that separates your product from clones. Silicon Valley's hypergrowth startups, NYC fintech, Austin B2B SaaS: I've shipped code in all three markets.
US tech expects execution speed and audit-ready quality. I deliver apps that handle Series B traffic, pass SOC 2 reviews, and survive investor due diligence.
Fixed scope. Payment in two tranches: 50% upfront, 50% at delivery. Wire transfer or Stripe invoicing.
Claude Code generates 60% of the codebase: Firebase CRUD templates, widget hierarchies, API serializers. I write the remaining 40%: payment flows, data migrations, anything that touches money or privacy.
You get velocity without technical debt. Code review happens on every Claude output before it ships.
Flutter for cross-platform UI. Firebase for backend: Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions Gen 2, Storage, Analytics. Claude Code excels at generating Cloud Functions boilerplate and Firestore security rules scaffolds.
I deploy to both App Store and Play Store with GitHub Actions CI/CD. US clients often need SOC 2 compliance: I structure Firebase projects to pass third-party audits.
AI-generated code still needs manual security review. I audit Firestore rules, API authentication, sensitive data flows, third-party SDKs. Every Claude Code output gets tested against OWASP Mobile Top 10.
US markets demand audit trails. I deliver written reports with proof that your app won't leak PII or fail PCI-DSS checks. Need help navigating AI-native development workflows for regulated industries? I've shipped fintech and healthtech apps in California and New York.
<p>AI writes structure. You pay me to decide what structure to write, and to catch the 3% of cases where Claude hallucinates a security hole.</p><p>I don't ship code I haven't read. Every Firebase rule, every Cloud Function, every Flutter widget: reviewed line by line before deploy.</p>

| Security audit included | Extra $15k-$30k | Not offered | Built into workflow, or $4.5k standalone |
| Post-launch support | Retainer-only, $8k/month minimum | Disappears after final payment | 2 weeks included, then hourly or retainer |
Claude Code generates scaffolding. Compliance is a human responsibility. I structure Firebase projects to log every data access, encrypt PII at rest, and enforce role-based permissions in Firestore rules.
SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA both require audit trails, access controls, and incident response plans. I deliver the technical foundation. You bring the compliance consultant to certify it.
I've worked with healthtech startups in California that needed HIPAA-ready backends. Claude Code wrote the CRUD layer. I wrote the audit logging and encryption wrappers.
I'm based in Tbilisi, Georgia. All projects are remote. US clients get overlap during East Coast afternoons and West Coast mornings.
I've delivered apps for Silicon Valley YC-backed startups, NYC fintech, and Austin B2B SaaS. Timezone has never blocked a launch.
Around 60% by line count. Firebase Functions CRUD endpoints, Flutter StatefulWidget boilerplate, JSON serializers, API client wrappers. Repetitive patterns that follow strict conventions.
I write the remaining 40%: payment integrations, complex state machines, data migrations, anything security-critical. Architecture decisions are 100% manual.
I catch it before deploy. Every function, every widget, every Firestore rule: reviewed manually. I run unit tests, integration tests, and security scans on all AI output.
Claude Code is excellent at generating valid syntax. It occasionally misses edge cases or generates overly permissive security rules. That's why code review exists.
If a bug ships to production, I fix it under the post-launch support window. Two weeks included with every MVP.
Yes, but migration is slower than greenfield. Claude Code can transpose UI components and API logic, but business rules need manual translation to avoid silent bugs.
I estimate migrations at 70% of the cost of rebuilding from scratch. You get cleaner architecture and cross-platform deployment in return.
I've migrated a Swift-only iOS app to Flutter for a New York startup. Took 5 weeks. User base doubled because Android launch became possible.
