Available to hire as a Flutter engineer, iOS engineer, AI mobile app developer, full-stack mobile app developer, or senior mobile engineer, full-time or on a fixed-scope project.
Five years, fifteen apps, half a million users. Flutter, SwiftUI, Node.js, Claude. Open to remote roles in the EU, US, or Canada, full-time or contract.
For hire as a remote senior mobile engineer. I build Flutter and SwiftUI apps for iOS and Android, wire in AI features through Anthropic Claude and OpenAI, and own the Node.js or FastAPI backend behind them. Open to full-time employment or long-term contract work with startups in the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.
Flutter-first, native iOS and SwiftUI when the platform calls for it. I write the production stuff: animations, offline state, push, in-app purchase, App Store and Play submissions. Fifteen apps in, and counting.
Flutter engineering →Claude, GPT, embeddings, agentic flows. Streaming responses, prompt orchestration, tool use, vector search. DreamyBot's whole AI stack (100k+ users) was built by one engineer. Me.
AI mobile app development →Node.js, FastAPI, Postgres, Firebase. The rare combo founders look for: the person who builds the app also builds the API it talks to. You don't need to hire a second engineer for v1.
Full-stack mobile builds →Production Flutter apps, shipped to both stores.

Ali shipped what would have taken our team a quarter in three weeks. He owns the whole stack, mobile, API, infra, without us having to chase him.

An AI consumer app with real subscriptions, not a demo. 100,000 users. One engineer doing mobile, API, and the AI layer. Streaming responses, prompt orchestration, RevenueCat tiers, a backend that kept up before I had to hand it off.
Self-custody wallet with MetaMask integration. A multi-chain signing flow that doesn't make first-time users panic.
Care Compass is in active development. There is no public app store listing yet.
Care-team coordination app for chronic-illness families. HIPAA-aware Firebase backend, role-based access, deep-linked invites.
Long-form audio app for a 200k-listener community. Offline caching, ad-free subscriptions via RevenueCat, Apple CarPlay.
2023 / B2BField-data capture for industrial sites. Offline-first sync, conflict resolution, and an opinionated FastAPI backend that runs lean.
Both. I write the mobile app in Flutter or SwiftUI, the API in Node.js or FastAPI, and the AI layer (Claude, OpenAI) on top. Most of my recent work has been all three at once. DreamyBot was 100k+ users on Flutter, FastAPI, Python, and Node, shipped solo.
Lahore is GMT+5. Five hours of overlap with most of Europe, three with US East Coast, and async with US West Coast. Standups work, async PRs work, and I reply to first messages within 24 hours.
Real ones. Streaming LLM responses, prompt orchestration, tool use, vector search, eval pipelines. DreamyBot's AI stack handles 100k users with prompts versioned in the repo and one eval suite per prompt. Monetiza uses Claude in production for transaction categorisation.
Either. I'm looking for one full-time engagement at a time with a startup in the EU, US, or Canada. I'll also take long-term contracts (six months or more) for the same kind of work.
Within two weeks of an offer. Sooner for contracts that don't need offboarding from a current engagement. I don't take more than one full-time role at a time, so when I say yes, I mean it.
The choices I made building a 100k-user AI consumer app solo. FastAPI vs Node, prompt orchestration, streaming, and the bits that broke first.
Subscription stacks are where indie apps die. The architecture I use, the receipt validation pitfalls, and why server-side is non-negotiable.
How I structure a day around an AI coding agent. What I delegate, what I still write by hand, and the prompts that earn their keep.
I'm a senior mobile and AI engineer based in Lahore. Five years writing apps, fifteen of them shipped, around half a million people using the things I built. I started on native iOS, moved to Flutter once it was clearly the right call for most of the work I take on, and picked up Python and Node when founders kept asking me to build the API too.
What I want now is one full-time engagement, remote, with a startup in the EU, US, or Canada, where I own the mobile product end to end. On a typical week that means the Flutter build, API contracts, and store releases in one thread. EU and US-East get morning overlap; US-West stays async with clear handoffs. I'd rather build one thing well than juggle four.

Thirty minutes. No pitch. We work out whether what you're building and what I do line up. If they don't, I'll point you at someone who's a better fit.
