Gbolahan Hameed
Flutter Engineer · Flutter framework contributor
I build production mobile apps in Flutter and Dart — and I work on the framework itself. Four of my pull requests are merged into flutter/flutter, refactoring widget-layer test suites. Nearly five years shipping to the App Store and Google Play, across telemedicine, payments and marketplace products.
Open to Flutter, mobile and cross-platform engineering roles in London and the South East — permanent or contract. Also open to relocating to Greater Manchester for the right role.
What I do
Ship apps end to end
Sole mobile engineer on production apps serving thousands of users — architecture through to App Store and Play releases.
Contribute to Flutter
Work inside the framework's own test suite, not just on top of the SDK. Four merged PRs in the widget layer.
Profile, don't guess
60 fps held under load, cold-start cut 35%, memory tuned for low-end Android — measured in DevTools.
Set the standard
Introduce Clean Architecture, state management and automated testing onto codebases that arrived without them.
Flutter framework
Contributions to flutter/flutter — removing Material dependencies from widget-layer tests so they exercise the widget library in isolation, and relocating tests that had drifted into the wrong package.
