Hire Android App Developer

Hire a Freelance Android App Developer

Skip the agency. Work directly with a developer who ships Android apps in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and React Native. AI-powered delivery, Play Store submission included, no middlemen.

Why Hire Me Over an Android Agency?

Lower cost, faster decisions, Play Store-ready from day one.

Direct Access — No Account Manager

You talk to the developer writing your Kotlin code. Faster iteration, no broken-telephone briefs, no waiting for project managers to relay your feedback.

AI-Powered Kotlin Development

I use Claude Code and Cursor with Kotlin expertise built in. Composables, view models, Hilt modules, and Room schemas come together in minutes — not hours.

Play Store Submission Included

Google Play Console setup, store listing, testing tracks, and production rollout — all handled. I know the policy gotchas that get apps rejected.

Kotlin + React Native — Both Options

I pick the right stack: Kotlin/Compose for Android-only or performance-critical apps, React Native for cross-platform from one codebase.

No Agency Markup

Android agencies charge $150-$300/hr because of office rent, account managers, and sales teams. As a freelancer, you pay for code — not overhead.

Clear Communication

Weekly demos with APK or AAB builds you can install. Async updates between calls. You always know what's shipping next.

Kotlin or React Native? Both, Depending on Your App.

I pick the right stack for your project. No religious wars — just the right tool.

Kotlin / Jetpack Compose

When you want the best Android-only experience.

  • Android-only apps with no iOS plans
  • Performance-critical apps (games, AR, video)
  • Deep Android tie-ins (Wear OS, Auto, TV)
  • Day-1 access to new Android APIs
  • Maximum Material 3 polish

React Native (Expo)

When you also need iOS from one codebase.

  • Android + iOS from a single codebase
  • ~50% lower cost vs building twice
  • OTA updates without Play Store review
  • Faster MVP delivery (8-12 weeks vs 14-20)
  • Native modules for any Android-specific feature

How Hiring Works

From first call to Play Store launch, here's exactly what happens.

Step 01

Free 15-Min Consultation

We talk through your app idea, Android-specific constraints (Health Connect, BLE, foreground services), and whether Kotlin or React Native is the right fit. Honest advice — even if you don't hire me.

Step 02

Scope, Timeline, and Quote

You get a clear proposal: stack choice, milestone breakdown, fixed-price or subscription pricing. No hidden fees, no scope creep.

Step 03

Development Begins

Daily commits to your private repo. Internal testing track build on day one. You see progress on your own device, not just in screenshots.

Step 04

Weekly Build Demos

Every Friday: new build to your internal testing track, demo call, feedback captured. Tight iteration loops mean we catch UX issues early.

Step 05

Play Store Submission

I handle Google Play Console setup, store listing copy, screenshots in every required size, content rating, and production rollout. First-submission approval is the goal.

Step 06

Ongoing Support

Post-launch bug fixes, Android version migrations, target SDK upgrades, and new features. Most clients continue with a monthly subscription — same developer, no re-onboarding.

What You Get When You Hire Me

I'm not just a coder — I'm a product-minded Android developer who cares about shipping apps that pass Play Store review and feel right on every device.

  • Production Android apps shipped to the Play Store
  • Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Hilt, Room expertise
  • Full-stack capability: Android frontend + Node/Python backend
  • AI-powered development for 2-3x faster delivery
  • Google Play Console setup + submission included
  • Internal/closed/open testing tracks from week one
  • 100% source code ownership — it's your code
  • NDA available for confidential projects
