Which TV platforms do you build for?
Primarily Android TV and Amazon Fire TV, using Flutter where it fits the product. I can also advise when a platform-native approach is the better choice.

Smart TV apps built for the remote, not the touchscreen.
I build Smart TV applications where remote-control navigation, playback and large-screen layout are treated as first-class concerns rather than scaled-up mobile screens.

01 · WHAT’s INCLUDED
A TV experience, not a stretched phone app
TV-first interfaces designed for D-pad navigation and focus, content browsing and detail screens that read well from a distance, and OTT playback experiences with the controls viewers actually use.
I also implement onboarding, QR or code pairing, subscription and paywall flows, and the platform-specific behaviour that Android TV and Amazon Fire TV each require.
02 · PLAYBACK · PERFORMANCE
Smooth on TV hardware
Careful handling of media playback, buffering and error states, plus performance work so navigation stays responsive on TV hardware that is less powerful than a phone.
Playback and DRM can be integrated with the streaming provider your content uses.
03 · IS IT A FIT
When this service fits best
Suited to streaming and media products, education and training apps, and services that need a living-room presence alongside their mobile app.
If the same product needs a mobile or web client, Flutter can share logic and APIs across devices.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Working together
Can you connect the TV app to our existing backend?
Yes. TV apps usually share the same APIs as the mobile app, so I connect to your existing services or build the endpoints that are missing.
Do you handle playback and DRM?
I implement playback and the surrounding states, and can integrate the DRM or streaming provider your content uses.
How does a TV app get distributed?
Android TV apps ship through the Google Play Store and Fire TV apps through the Amazon Appstore. I can prepare the release and the listing requirements.
