App developer | Building ShiftMate

About

I'm an independent app developer building practical mobile apps for everyday life. I'm currently working on ShiftMate, a shift calendar designed for nurses and people who work rotating schedules. It helps users manage shifts, personal plans, reminders, widgets, and shared coworker schedules across phones and tablets. I enjoy building products, improving mobile UX, and learning from real user feedback.

What do I have scheduled?
