About Alex

I build mobile applications that ship — from first scoping call to live on the App Store and Google Play.


My core stack is Flutter and Dart with Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Messaging) or Supabase (PostgreSQL, row-level security, realtime) behind it.
One codebase, truly native iOS and Android output, and an architecture that stays maintainable after launch — feature-first structure, Riverpod state management, tested and documented.

What makes my profile different is the depth behind the framework: over 20 years of development experience, including 8+ years of native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) before specializing in Flutter.
When your app needs platform-specific work — push notifications that actually arrive, in-app purchases, background audio, GPS, camera, offline sync — I'm not limited by what a plugin offers. I've also built and run backends (Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, PostgreSQL), so I can deliver the complete product, not just the app screen.

How I work:

Every project starts with a short, fixed-price scoping phase. You get a written specification, a realistic timeline and a firm price before development begins — no vague estimates, no surprise invoices. I work with a modern AI-assisted development workflow, which means I deliver noticeably faster than traditional pace, with every line reviewed and tested. Clear communication in plain language, honest trade-off discussions, and fast responses are part of the service.

Typical missions:

New mobile apps from idea or design to both app stores
Audit and rescue of existing or AI-generated Flutter codebases
Adding complex features to live apps: offline sync, payments, push, reporting (PDF/Excel)
Backend design and Firebase/Supabase data modelling with proper security

Based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania — EU legal framework, GDPR-native, and a convenient time zone for French, German, Swiss and UK clients (CET+1). Available for remote missions, long-term collaborations welcome.
