--- title: "Hamza Ahmad, Senior Flutter Developer" url: "https://hamzaamalik.com" updated: "2026-10-12" --- # Hamza Ahmad, senior Flutter developer I build iOS and Android apps, and everything behind them: architecture, backend, AI features, native integrations and the store release, owned by one engineer. - 9+ years in Software Engineering, 6+ in Flutter - Top Rated with 100% Job Success Score - Upwork - 290K+ registered users on a Flutter app ## About I'm Hamza, a product engineer in Lahore. I've spent 9+ years shipping software, most of it mobile, and 6+ years of that in Flutter. I've been on founding teams, led mobile engineering through a $10M seed round, and led product engineering on a health and FinTech app from MVP to 290,000+ registered users. These days I split my time between my own products and building apps for founders who want one engineer accountable for the whole thing. I work best when I own the outcome: architecture, backend, native integrations, store release and the support after it. You get a test build on your phone every week, and a straight answer when there's a simpler way to reach the goal. ## Selected work - [Emorya](https://hamzaamalik.com/work/emorya) (Health and FinTech app, Feb 2023 to May 2026, live): A live-to-earn app that turns physical activity into crypto rewards.

I scope it with you, pick an architecture that won't need rewriting at the first sign of traction, and ship it to the stores. - **Scale an app that has outgrown itself.** Releases are slow and every change breaks something. I restructure the codebase and the backend behind it while the app keeps shipping. - **Take over a hard codebase.** The original team has moved on. I get the project building again, write down how it works, and keep releases going. ## What I build - Cross-platform Flutter apps for iOS and Android, from MVP to production - AI features with OpenAI and Gemini: chat, generated plans, image and food recognition - Health and fitness apps with Apple HealthKit, Health Connect and Garmin - Backends and APIs on Node.js, Django, GraphQL, Firebase and Google Cloud - Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) plugins when Flutter needs them - Payments, subscriptions and in-app purchases - Admin dashboards and web apps in Next.js - CI/CD and App Store and Google Play releases ## Experience ### Founder and Lead Product Engineer, K-Mavericks 2023 to present, Lahore.

As an individual. I'm a senior engineer who writes the code myself, and you deal with me directly from scoping through release and support. There's no account manager in between and no hand-off to a junior team. ### What technology do you build with? Flutter and Dart for iOS, Android and web apps, with native Swift and Kotlin when a feature needs it. Backends on Node.js, Django, GraphQL or Firebase, admin dashboards and websites in Next.js, and AI features with OpenAI and Gemini. ### Can you take over an existing Flutter app? Yes. I get the project building again, document how it works, fix what blocks releases, and then keep shipping. I've also restructured apps mid-flight, such as migrating a freight marketplace's backend from Firebase to Node.js and GraphQL while its apps stayed live. ### Do you integrate Apple HealthKit, Health Connect and Garmin? Yes. I shipped Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect sync in Emorya, a health and FinTech app with 290,000+ registered users, and built a Garmin Connect integration that syncs training runs into MyRace. ### Can you add AI features to a mobile app? Yes. I've built a four-agent OpenAI GPT-4o pipeline for AlignAgain, Gemini food scanning for Emorya, and Gemini image generation with server-side keys and paid credits for Beardly. ### How does a project with you start? Email me what you're building and where it's stuck. I reply with how I'd approach it and what it would take. Once we agree on scope, you get a test build on your own phone every week, so you always see real progress. ### Where are you based, and which time zones do you work with? I'm in Lahore, Pakistan (UTC+5) and work remotely. I've worked with teams and clients in the UK, Romania and the UAE. ### Can I hire you through Upwork? Yes. I'm Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score, and you can hire me there or contract with me directly. ## Contact - Email: hamza@kmavericks.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamzamalik195/ - GitHub: https://github.com/malik19995 - Upwork: https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/hamzaaas19 - Résumé (PDF): https://hamzaamalik.com/hamza-ahmad-resume.pdf
