I led design and engineering of the entire participant-facing product: a real-time interactive data-capture interface. Every screen, every interaction, and the on-device processing that turns a live session into usable data. It has to feel effortless to the person using it and stay precise enough for the measurement to mean anything.

I worked directly on how the product handles data. Individual session data is processed and discarded on the participant's device, so nothing personally identifiable is retained. Anonymity is a property of how the system is built, not a policy written over the top of it.

I designed and built the company website from scratch. Visual identity, animation system, copy, structure, and deployment. It is the reference point for how the company presents itself.

I led product design and both frontend and backend engineering end to end. The positioning, the interface, the systems that run it, and the release. Every decision in the product is one I made and shipped.

The product runs on the OpenAI APIs. The work is not the model, it is everything around it: the prompts, the structure of the output, and the interface that turns a vague idea into a brand direction someone can actually use.

Shipped to the App Store, then kept moving. I designed and built the website alongside the product, so the brand reads the same way in both places.

Most goal apps punish you for missing a day, and people quit the moment the streak breaks. Goalsreach is built the other way round. It tracks consistency, keeps the record honest, and makes coming back the easy thing to do.

Native iOS, written in SwiftUI. Every screen, the data model underneath it, and the release. No template, no framework doing the thinking.

Shipped to the App Store, with the identity and the website designed alongside it. The product and the brand were made by the same person, and it shows in both.
