### leftovers app






I found out one day that gift card issuing companies get back all the money not spent on their cards. This pissed me off. So, I devised a way to get that money back and use it to help fight hunger.






This project is currently in development and slated to launch Q1 of 2025.






#### my role






Just me for everything

#### goals






I wanted to create a way in which people could donate the leftover money on gift cards to help fight hunger.






#### problems






No problems, really. 















##### approach / process / solutions






Honestly, I just designed it, prototyped it, and built it. I'm currently in the process of creating the business and move forward.















##### results






I've created a pretty awesome app to help fight hunger.



















































### splitty






This project is currently in development and slated to launch in Q2 2025.






An iOS and Android app to allow the user to manage audio output between phone calls and music.






#### my role






Everything.

									![add preset screen mockup](https://jnytjp2rc55aygc.onstatic.studio/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/add-preset-screen-mockup.png)


















#### goals






I wanted to create an app allowing folks to manage the audio going to their headphones and independently adjust call and music volume and left/right balance.






#### problems






The biggest issue was how to tap into the native OS system settings and "hijack" them in order to manipulate them however you wish.















##### approach / process / solutions






I just designed it and built it.















##### results






I'm in the process of launching the app.
