App development

How I can help

App development is not about writing code but about solving problems. I believe in clear quick and incremental deliveries and using analytics to make sure we are on the right track. I am further specialized in:

Cross platform development

Cross platform development, when applied correctly, can have massive benefits in time, money and scale. With more than 7 years of experience in Flutter, I helped multiple organisations capatilise on this technology. Still need to use native code? No problem, I have experience creating plugins for both iOS and Android.
Creating apps that scale

An app for 100 users is totally different than when you have 100.000 users and I believe that you need to take scalability into account from the start. I worked on apps that have millions of users and know how to scale your app. My method helps you to deliver quick and scale aggressively.
Building strong development teams.

Succesful apps are build by succesful teams. I have experience in building and leading teams of developers and designers.

Projects

Stripe

Stripe is one of the bigggest financial Saas in the world and for one of my projects I needed integration with the service for Flutter. Since there was only an outdated library available I decided to team up with two other developers and create a new open source library for the community.

Hypervolt

Hypervolt is an UK-based Ev charging company. I took a leading role in the total rewrite of the customer app where we used a reactive architecture and communication through websockets.

Philips Hue

As part of the core team I was responsible of driving the architecture and onboarding the other developers in Flutter. The new Hue app is live in the appstores and is still one of the biggest Flutter apps available.

“Rémon is a great developer, in every aspect of being a great developer. Having had the pleasure of working closely with him, I can attest to his great skills, dedication, and positive contributions to BonBot. He thinks like an architect with a mindset of a tester, and write code that is durable and very well functioning.”

Levina Persson
COO Bonbot

“Rémon is not just another guy who can write code. “Rémon architected the whole application, he learned new framework just because it was better to write our app in that language. He understands best practices in UX and visual hierarchy which is super important for the users and platform conversions. His main focus is always prioritise user over non-sense features.”

Balancing productive tension: the essential push-pull between developers and management

In the fast-paced world of startups, the race to achieve goals before time or funding runs out is relentless. The stakes are high because there is a 50% chance the startup does not make it to the fifth year. As a developer you are in the frontline and this means navigating tight timelines and high expectations. However, there's an often overlooked issue in this dynamic: developers not pushing back enough against management decisions. This lack of pushback can lead to significant negative consequences for both the project and the team. In this post, we’ll explore the productive tension between developers and management and discuss ways to create an effective balance that benefits everyone.

Applying Jiu-Jitsu strategies at work

I am very sportive and see sports as a way to energize my busy life. A while ago, I started with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and got really hooked. This journey has not only transformed my physical fitness but has also reshaped how I approach challenges off the mat, making me a better person overall. Here are a couple of ways Jiu-Jitsu helps me in my professional life.
