Experience
Diabetes Logs
This Swift-based app is intended to help diabetes patients log their blood sugar values and medication.
I developed the iOS and Android client apps from scratch. The iOS app also has a Watch Companion app, and its user interface (UI) is adapted for iPad screens. I used Firebase for the back end.
It grew from a side project into something people use every day, and it helps them keep their diabetes in check.
