AI-built apps → production & the app stores.
Your Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or Claude app looks finished. It isn’t yet. I do the last stretch: real users, real payments, both stores. And when a business needs a system that doesn’t exist, I build it, fixed scope and fixed price.
Built ArabyBuddy, live on the App Store and Google Play.
The gap AI tools don’t close
The prototype is the easy half.
Four things the demo never shows you.
Auth & data
The row-level policy that exists and isolates nobody. The API key sitting in the app bundle.
Payments
The webhook that silently drops one subscription in twenty. The customer charged twice on a retry.
The stores
Apple’s rejection with a guideline number and no explanation. Google’s closed-testing rule nobody told you about.
Staying live
The OS update that breaks the build on a Tuesday, and nobody on the hook.
How it works
Start small. Then decide.
Step 1
A 30-minute review. £50.
Screen-share your app. You leave with a prioritised fix list. Credited against any job.
Step 2
A one-page scope.
In, out, what done looks like, one fixed price. Half to start.
Step 3
Build, ship, hand over.
The rest when it ships. You own the code, in your accounts.

Who you’d be working with
I’m Ahmed Gadir, a senior engineer who ships his own apps.
Eight years on enterprise React platforms, and one consumer app taken from idea to both stores with my own hands. gadirlabs is the name I ship under. One or two clients at a time.
