Personal projects and freelance work that I've done over the past 4 years.
During the 2024 winter season, two of my best friends and I teamed up to do freelance work together. One of them had been doing videography for small-mid sized companies in his local area and wanted to expand into providing a complete digital package, so the three of us made it happen. Since then, we've designed two professional websites that can be found here:
The HackUTD Tech Guide is an online library of all HackUTD created resources that range from workshop guides to articles that focus on helping our UTD community succeed. Check it out here.
A project the HackUTD 2024 Experience team created with the sole intent of providing a comprehensive guide to building full stack projects. Initially, our intention was to provide this resource during the hackathon only. However, we decided that it was far too valuable to gatekeep for the other 51 weekends. Now this resource can be found on the HackUTD Notion Website.
I found myself frequenting fast food restaurants, namely Chipotle and Cava, for the past two years of my life. And as someone who focuses on nutrition, I wanted to create a convenient and efficient way of calculating exactly what I'm putting in my body.
So I built Loadout, a free, ad-free, native iOS app (SwiftUI) that lets you assemble a custom meal at fast-casual spots like Chipotle, CAVA, Panda Express, and Sweetgreen, watch the macros update live as you build it, and export the totals straight into MacroFactor with a single tap.
Hearth is an on-device dashboard for my Apple Health data, built native in SwiftUI with a watch app and widgets. It reads HealthKit and distills overnight HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, and a dozen other biomarkers into readiness, sleep, and stress scores, each measured against my own 60-day baseline instead of population averages. A one-tap export drops analyst-ready CSVs straight into my Obsidian vault. No accounts, no cloud; the data never leaves the phone, which is exactly the point.
Pulse was an app I needed before it was an app I built. While working to overcome a porn addiction, I realized streak counters have the problem backwards: they measure the absence of failure rather than the presence of effort. Pulse tracks the moments I notice and resist an urge, capturing the mood, context, and intensity behind each one. Those entries slowly become a map of my patterns, and the goal shifts from white-knuckling a streak to actually understanding myself. The first version is live on the App Store.
My current opus, now on the App Store as Word Assassins - Coax. It's the classic in-person assassin game with words as the weapon: everyone receives a secret target and a trigger word, and your job is to coax your target into saying theirs. The app handles the bookkeeping, targets, eliminations, and inheritance, then gets out of the way, because the real game unfolds at brunch tables, on road trips, and in group chats. What started as a weekend referee tool has grown into multiple game modes, forty-plus word packs, AI-generated custom packs, and lobbies of up to a hundred players. There's more at playcoax.com.
