The client

Who they are

A US-based beauty-tech startup building a connected beauty platform across mobile, desktop, and a proprietary AI-powered Smart Mirror. The product combines beauty education, personalized makeup guidance, augmented reality, and premium digital features.

The challenge

What was on the table

The client needed an experienced Flutter engineer who could work inside an existing product rather than simply build isolated features.

The application combined several technically demanding areas: real-time AR effects on the user’s face, video-based makeup tutorials, integration with a Smart Mirror, and functionality shared across mobile and desktop environments.

At the same time, the product was evolving quickly. The team needed someone who could fix production issues, implement new functionality, and contribute to the development of premium features for Smart Mirror users.

Why us

Why they chose UASOFTDEV

The project required more than standard Flutter development. UASOFTDEV provided a senior engineer with experience across Flutter and native mobile technologies, capable of working with AR SDKs and integrating new functionality into an existing product ecosystem, and providing 24/7 technical support.

The key fit was the combination of cross-platform development, native technologies, and the ability to work with complex user-facing functionality.

Alexander (CTO) reviewed the architecture proposal before kickoff. First match within 60 hours.
