Hello! I’m a software developer with a background in algorithmic trading and product ownership. This site showcases some of the projects I’ve worked on and reflects my interest in building thoughtful, reliable software with a strong product focus.
Projects:
Fittr: Strength & Nutrition
Fittr is a privacy-first iOS fitness tracker for logging nutrition,
workouts and body metrics with a local-only, account-free design.
I built Fittr after being frustrated not being able to find a good app
for tracking both my diet and gym sessions, and on top of that premium tiers
for the apps I used cost between 5€ and 20€ a month for basic
features all the while selling your data.

Conway's Game of Life
Described as a "zero player game" by it's creator, mathematician John Conway,
the Game of Life composes of a grid of
cells, which are either dead or alive, and has a simple set of rules
which
decide whether each cell will be alive or dead in the next turn.
Conway invented the game as a demonstration that simple rules and the right starting conditions
can lead to chaotic and even self replicating systems.
As a mathematics undergrad I was fascinated by this concept. Checkout my sandbox
implementation here. You can play around with setting up your own patterns and seeing how the game
evolves, or choose from a dropdown list of amazing community discovered automata like the ones you see above.
