I build custom apps for businesses, mostly using FlutterFlow on the front end and Supabase on the back. I've been freelancing for over six years and have worked with more than 50 clients across a range of industries.

Before I got into development, my work was in business process consulting. That still shapes how I take on projects. Most people come to me with a solution already in mind, which is fine, but I'll usually spend the first conversation asking how the work currently gets done, who touches it, where things fall apart, and what happens when someone makes a mistake. Half the time the app that gets built is different from the one that was originally described, and it's usually simpler.

What I actually do:

Mobile and web apps in FlutterFlow, published to iOS, Android, and web. Supabase backends including database design, row level security, Postgres triggers and functions, and edge functions. Role based access control, which is where most business apps get complicated and where a lot of builds go wrong. API integrations with existing systems like ERPs and CRMs, so your team isn't entering the same data twice. Firebase, Airtable, Xano, and Glide when they're the better fit. Reporting in Tableau, because if you can't measure the process you can't improve it. Training material and video walkthroughs so your users actually adopt what I hand over.

I write custom Dart actions and SQL when the visual builders run out, which happens on any project past a certain size. That's usually the difference between a prototype and something a team can run on.

Recent work includes a facilities management app for a church organisation covering work orders, red tag safety flows, multi level approvals, automated user provisioning, and PDF generation.

I'm based in Bengaluru and work with clients across time zones. Formal background is a BBM, an MSc in International Marketing from Hult, and an MSc in Project Management from Harrisburg University.
