How to Engage
The process is structured to save your time:
- Inbound, send a one-paragraph brief to hello@ishaqhassan.dev: product, stage, role, location/timezone, scope.
- 30-min discovery call, free. End deliverable: a one-page summary of the highest-leverage technical risk in your current setup and whether the engagement makes sense.
- Written proposal, scope, milestones, pricing, exit criteria. Plain English, no agency boilerplate.
- Engagement begins, first 14 days are a calibration window. Either side can exit without obligation if the fit is wrong.
Hiring Red Flags To Watch For
Things candidates pretending to be "senior Flutter developers" usually fail on. Use these as filters in your own hiring loop:
- No GitHub trail, or repos that are only forks. Real Flutter seniors have at least one published package or framework PR.
- Cannot defend a state management choice against the alternatives. "I just use Provider because it's simpler" is not a defense at the senior level.
- Cannot explain rebuild propagation from a setState() call up the Element tree. This is the single most common interview filter.
- Has never read a Flutter framework source file. Senior Flutter requires reading the source when an API behaves unexpectedly.
- Performance answer is "use const". Const helps but it is the smallest of dozens of available levers.
Current Status
Currently Engineering Manager at DigitalHire (McLean, Virginia). Open to exceptional opportunities, especially roles where framework-level Flutter depth matters. Available for contract and consulting engagements in parallel.
