React Native·Expo·Supabase Realtime·AI·2026
A chat app for people who speak different languages: messages are translated automatically. People can still view the original text, with typing indicators and presence in the chat.
About
I'm Samuel. I build web and mobile apps with TypeScript, usually starting with a problem I want to solve.
I'm interested in the parts of software that take more thought than they seem to: making an app work without a reliable connection, turning a slow request into a fast one, or making an interface feel simpler without stripping away what makes it useful.
I've built Melo, a chat app that translates conversations between people speaking different languages; Chop Iron, an offline-first workout tracker; DropEnv, an encrypted environment-variable sharing tool; and VaultX, an API for sharing temporary snippets between devices. Most began as small problems I wanted to solve for myself.
I'm looking for software engineering opportunities where I can solve meaningful problems, learn from good engineers, and ship products people find useful. If that sounds like a fit, my email is at the bottom of the page.
