Experience

Independent Product Builder

Self-employed · Queens, New York · Aug 2022—Present

  • Find problems in my own work, health, and relationships; build the smallest useful version; and let real use guide each iteration.
  • Squad Goals: a cross-platform fitness-accountability app used by friends, with groups, weekly goals, workout logging, leaderboards, penalties, chat, and notifications on Expo, Convex, and Clerk.
  • Food Journal: a personal nutrition tracker with plain-language logging, structured calorie and macro estimates, source transparency, and an evaluation harness.
  • Personal Planner: a production cross-platform task system with shared lists, assignments, recurring tasks, history, and notifications; migrated seven lists and 92 tasks into Convex.
  • Treadmill Connect: my first hardware product, using Bluetooth FTMS, Swift/SwiftUI, HealthKit, and Watch connectivity to save treadmill-measured distance to Apple Fitness. Validated on real hardware; I use it several times a week.
