Native iOS (Swift), Flutter and React Native. Five apps shipped to the stores across these three technologies, all still actively updated.
Server side built in TypeScript, centred on Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions). From data modelling through to running it in production.
Scoring and feedback features built on the OpenAI API, from design to implementation, including prompt design and tuning the quality of the output.
Error monitoring with Sentry, analytics, store submission and review handling. Shipping is the start, not the finish.
Everything BIG as LIFE makes starts from curiosity: "this could be fun", "what happens if we bring in this new technology?"
What matters most is the joy that comes from growth and discovery: being able to do what you couldn't before, having your horizons widened by a new experience, seeing the world differently after a small realisation. That spark is what we want to deliver, in the shape of an app.
That is also why shipping is never the end. Once an app is in the store it gets measured, fixed and grown. Taking on everything from concept to operations is the only way that value actually reaches anyone.

Released TORECTA v4.1.
Changed the game rules to a time-attack format. You start with a 120-second time limit, and clearing squares adds time based on their size. Major updates include a new "Starry Night" background that changes with your score, animated block movement, removal of the play-count limit, and best score saving for each season.

2026.07
Released Riplen v2.1.
Added a feature to check the scoring breakdown and a feature to review the scoring criteria before you write. A "Weakness Analysis" that visualizes your weak points from past practice results has also been added. Improvement points now let you review the feedback, quotes, explanations, and rewrite examples all together.
Happy to talk about app or web service development.
