Employment
Experience
- Shopping with Pat (Development)https://shoppingwithpat.com
This app is an intelligent meal planner, and takes into account your preferences, and the people you're cooking for to build a tailored meal plan. This helps reduce waste, and save you money by reusing leftover ingredients from previous meals later in the week.
I built the back end of this project allowing for the input of all the recipes and ingredients as well as the underlying logic to construct the meal plans.
This project was executed in less than two months from start to finish.
