Freelance Developer in Toulouse: SaaS, iOS Apps, and AI

Hi, I'm Andy. Freelance developer in Toulouse, 7 years in the game, and on the side CTO of a LegalTech SaaS (CBlindspot). This page isn't a resume. It's more the place where I tell you what I do, how I work, and why you might want to hand me your project.

If you're looking for a freelance developer in Toulouse who can take an idea and turn it into a product that actually runs, live, with real users on it, you're in the right place. I code, I ship, and I don't make slides to explain why it's going to take six months.

My rule fits in a few words: ship fast, plug in AI when it serves a purpose, and above all don't over-engineer. I've seen too many projects die under the weight of a cathedral architecture when all they needed was a clean MVP live in three weeks.

What I actually do

I'm fullstack, but not the kind of fullstack that touches everything and finishes nothing. I have three playgrounds where I'm genuinely good, because I ship on them constantly, for my clients and for my own products.

• Web SaaS — Next.js and TypeScript, from the front end to the backend, database, auth, Stripe payments, deployment. I build CBlindspot with this stack, so I know the real traps: serverless timeouts, scary migrations, the moment your MVP has to become a product that holds up under load.
• Native iOS apps — Swift and SwiftUI, not laggy React Native. I have two apps live on the App Store: WallCraft AI and QuranWay. From design to Apple submission, including subscriptions (RevenueCat), widgets, onboarding. I know how annoying Apple can be in review, and I know how to get through anyway.
• Automations and AI — this is where it gets fun. Claude and GPT integrations, RAG, agents, MCP, content pipelines. Not gimmick AI slapped on to look pretty: AI that does real work inside your product. An assistant that answers questions about your docs, a classifier that sorts your leads, automated image generation. The kind of thing that saves you hours every week.

On the side, I also publish open source (Opus, a macOS launcher; Vidya, an MCP video engine). That means I don't just follow tutorials: I build tools from scratch and I maintain them.

Who I work with

I mostly work with three types of people, because that's where I bring the most.

• Solo founders and early-stage startups. You've got an idea, maybe a bit of budget, and you want something real online fast. I'm your tech team for as long as it takes. We validate the idea with an actual product, not a Figma mockup.
• SMBs that want an app or a SaaS. You have a business, customers, and you can clearly see that a custom tool would save you a ton of time or open a new channel. I translate your business need into software that works.
• Companies that want to plug in AI without getting sold smoke and mirrors by an agency. You already have a product and you want to add a smart layer to it. I do it cleanly, keeping API costs under control (because that's the classic trap nobody tells you about).

What all these people have in common: they want someone who delivers, who talks straight, and who thinks about the business before thinking about how pretty the code is. I'm a founder at heart. I carry my own products end to end. So when I code yours, I reason as if it were mine: what's actually going to generate value, and what can wait.

How a project unfolds

No mystery, no endless process. Here's how it usually works.

1. We talk. A 30-minute call, free. You tell me about the project, the context, the rough budget, the deadline. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right guy or not. If your thing isn't for me, I say so, and I often point you somewhere else.
2. I scope it. I break your need down into something deliverable. We define a first concrete milestone: an MVP, a specific feature, an integration. You know what you'll get, when, and how much.
3. I ship in iterations. You don't vanish into a three-month tunnel. I deliver pieces you can see running, test, and critique. You keep your hand on the priorities. If we need to adjust, we adjust fast.
4. We go live. Deployment, App Store submission, production release. The product exists for real, with users on it. That's my obsession: no deliverable sleeping in a Git repo.

On the practical side, I bill by the day (day rate), and for some well-scoped projects I can do a fixed price. We talk about it on the call; it depends on your need and how clear your budget is.

Remote or in Toulouse

I'm based between Toulouse and Castelsarrasin, and I work remote most of the time. That means your location isn't a problem: I have clients everywhere, and remote works great when communication is tight (and mine is, you'll see).

That said, being a freelance developer in Toulouse has a real local advantage. If you're in the area, we can meet in person. A coffee to kick off the project, an in-person scoping workshop, a physical check-in on the bigger builds. For some people, it changes everything to have someone reachable in the same time zone, the same city, who speaks the same language and understands the local fabric. Toulouse has a tech and startup ecosystem that's moving, and I like contributing to it.

So: a Paris startup fully remote, a Toulouse SMB that wants to see me once a month, a solo founder on the other side of France. All three work.

How to reach me

If you read this far, there's probably a project behind it. Here are the two ways to reach me; pick whichever is easiest for you.

• On Malt. It's my main freelance platform. You'll find my reviews, my detailed profile, and you can launch a scoped project with secure payment. Handy if you want the comfort of a platform.
• By direct email. Write to me at contact@andygarcia.pro. Tell me in a few lines what you want to build, the context, and the deadline if you have one. I reply fast, and always straight.

You don't need a 40-page spec to get in touch. A scribbled idea is enough to start the conversation. Part of my job is helping you clarify what you actually want.

Whether you're after a SaaS, an iOS app, an AI layer in your existing product, or just an honest technical opinion before you dive in, write to me. The first call is free and with no commitment. Worst case, you walk away with a clearer idea. Best case, we build your product together.

See you soon. — Andy
