Experience

StrenvoAI

https://strenvoai.com/
StrenvoAI is an adaptive strength training app built with React Native and a custom back end to deliver personalized workout programming and performance insights.

I developed the mobile application and implemented an AI-powered assistant that integrates multiple AI provider APIs to generate workout adjustments and respond to user questions in real time. I also designed the architecture to support scalable training logic, progress tracking, and reliable API routing between providers.

The project combines clean software design with my personal passion for fitness, resulting in a product I actively use and continue to improve.
