My Role & Value
As the solo FlutterFlow expert, I led the entire product cycle—from ideation and UX/UI design to development, integration, and deployment. I built efficient custom functions, integrated multiple APIs, and optimized the app for performance across platforms. My value came from combining speed, technical creativity, and monetization strategy to launch a feature-rich app in just three weeks.
