My own published game, a take on the Simon Says memory loop with themed sound packs, meme audio, and a progression system. It is live on the Google Play Store and I ship updates to it regularly. I built and released it solo under my HnH Code handle.

  • +Memory game with several themed sound packs (Classic, Cat Mania, Ding Dong, Fart Fiesta, Chaos Pack)
  • +Progression with daily rewards, in-game gems, and rewarded ads
  • +Content and difficulty tuned live through Firebase Remote Config, no app update needed
  • +Earns through rewarded and banner ads, with a paid ad-free upgrade

A Trello-style kanban task manager I built to run real work, not a portfolio demo. Tasks are organized as Workspaces, Boards, and Lists, with drag-and-drop cards that carry due dates, labels, checklists, comments, and attachments.

  • +Workspace, Board, and List hierarchy for organizing tasks
  • +Drag-and-drop cards (dnd-kit) with due dates, labels, checklists, comments, and attachments
  • +JWT-based authentication
  • +Product analytics with PostHog and error monitoring with Sentry
  • +Multi-user workspace collaboration (in progress, ahead of public launch)

Achievements

Runner-up

NaSCon'24 App Development Competition

Runner-up in the App Development category at NaSCon'24, FAST's annual software competition. I led the team this time, a year after a NaSCon'23 run where we made enough mistakes to miss evaluation entirely. We built and pitched a React Native app under a tight deadline and finished one spot short of first.

Bun vs npm for Expo & React Native: A Real-World Comparison

Dec 2025

Bun is showing up more and more in React Native and Expo tutorials, so I wanted to understand whether it's just hype or actually useful. In this post, I compare Bun and npm on a real Expo project, focusing on install behavior, developer experience, and where each tool fits today.

About

I started building software in 2021, the slow way. Android apps in Java, on a laptop that could barely run Android Studio, with no AI tools and no one to ask. My first real project was a logbook app for a local tailor so he could stop tracking orders on paper. The code was rough and the UI was barely there, but I learned more from shipping that one app than from any tutorial.

Web never quite clicked for me. Mobile did. I moved to React Native and kept taking on harder problems, including a long stretch getting real-time 3D rendering to work inside a React Native app after the obvious libraries fell short (that story lives in my Elad Apps experience above). I tend to get obsessed when a problem actually matters to me, and I do not rest well until it works the way it should. That stubbornness is also what turned a rough NaSCon showing one year into a runner-up finish the next.

Most recently I was at BeautyPass, building features and owning the mobile release process, after nearly two years at Elad Apps on 3D skin previewers, AI voice tools, and monetization. Right now I'm building my own apps and looking for the next role. Longer term I want a SaaS product of my own, and eventually something in health tech that measurably improves people's lives.
