// manifesto
I build mobile.I build back.I ship everything.
One engineer instead of a handoff chain: app, API, database, payments, store release and analytics — in a single pair of hands. Nothing gets lost between mobile and backend, because it is the same person on both sides.
I'm Mostafa Abdelsalam, a senior Flutter developer based in Cairo, Egypt. Since 2020 I have been building iOS, Android and desktop apps, and the backends behind them, for product teams in the EU, US and MENA. Open to freelance projects and remote full-time roles.

What I work with
// languages & tools01
Mobile
Flutter apps for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS from one codebase. Offline-first, RTL-ready, released to the stores without drama.
02
Backend
APIs, data pipelines, auth and payments. From Firestore rules to a Postgres schema — no "not my area".
03
Web
Storefronts, dashboards and admin panels that share the same backend as the app.

Questions
// straight answersWho is Mostafa Abdelsalam?
I'm a senior Flutter developer and mobile engineer based in Cairo, Egypt. I build iOS, Android and desktop apps in Flutter, plus the backends behind them, for product teams in the EU, US and MENA.
Are you available for hire?
Yes. I take freelance and contract projects, and I'm open to remote full-time roles. The fastest way to start is a 30-minute call.
What kind of projects do you take on?
New Flutter apps from zero to the stores, and existing apps that are slow, crashing or stuck before release. Past work includes consumer social commerce, a video job feed, an offline-first point-of-sale, subscription apps and a headless Shopify storefront.
Can you take over or fix an existing Flutter app?
Yes, that is most of my work. I start with an audit of the code, crash logs and analytics, then fix what is hurting users first. On SKIN that meant 4.2× monthly active users on flat installs; on Swipework, an 80% faster feed.
Do you only do mobile, or backend and web too?
All three. Flutter and Dart on mobile; Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL and Firebase on the backend; Next.js, React and Vue on the web. One person across the app and the API means nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Where are you based, and which time zones do you work with?
Cairo, Egypt, on Eastern European Time. I work remotely in English and Arabic, with full overlap with European working hours and daily overlap with US time zones.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope, so I don't publish a rate card. Book a 30-minute call; after a short look at the project you get a plan and an estimate.
