Mobile App Developer Needed for AI-Powered Kids Learning App MVP

We’re looking for an experienced mobile app developer to help us build an MVP for a fun and engaging learning app for kids. The idea is a cross-platform mobile app where children can learn through short interactive lessons, quizzes, mini-games, rewards, and an AI-powered learning assistant that adapts to the child’s progress. The first version should be simple but polished, with a strong focus on smooth UX, clean architecture, and a product that can be launched on both iOS and Android. What we need Flutter or React Native mobile app development for iOS and Android Firebase or similar backend setup User onboarding for parents and children Interactive lessons and quiz flows Gamification: points, streaks, badges, progress tracking AI-powered assistant or recommendation logic Push notifications and reminders Basic admin/content management logic App Store and Google Play launch support Nice to have Experience with kids apps, EdTech, e-learning, or trivia/quiz apps Experience with AI features inside mobile apps Strong product thinking, not just coding Ability to help us simplify the MVP scope and avoid overbuilding Experience building apps that are stable, scalable, and easy to maintain Full-stack experience with Node.js, Python, Firebase, or cloud functions Tech stack We’re open to recommendations, but Flutter or React Native would likely be the best fit for the first version. Firebase, Node.js, or Python/FastAPI can be used for backend features depending on the final scope. Ideal candidate You’ve built real mobile apps before and understand what it takes to launch a product, not just finish tasks. We need someone who can guide us, ask smart questions, suggest better solutions, and help us make the app engaging enough for kids to actually use. This could start as an MVP and grow into a long-term product if the first version goes well. Please include examples of mobile apps you’ve built, especially anything related to kids, education, AI, quizzes, productivity, or habit-building.
