- In The Loop (Development)https://vimeo.com/90457326
This project involved a Salesforce productivity app that uses gamification. I built the demo version of the app during a two-day hackathon organized by AXA.
My group won first prize at the hackathon. - Hitchhiking Map (Development)https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hitchhiking-map/id1222440865?ls=1&mt=8
I developed an iOS app to find the best hitchhiking spots around you. It was built with React Native, Redux, and Redux-saga; it focuses on an offline-first experience (since travelers often don't have internet).

- One-click Login with Blockchain: A MetaMask Tutorial (Publication)Online users are becoming increasingly resistant to traditional email/password registration processes. One-click social logins via Facebook, Google, or GitHub are better, but they come with data privacy trade-offs. This article introduces a one-click, cryptographically-secure login flow using MetaMask, with all data stored on the app's own back-end.
- GraphQL vs. REST - A GraphQL Tutorial (Publication)You might have heard about the new kid around the block: GraphQL. If not, GraphQL is, in a word, a new way to fetch APIs, an alternative to REST.
