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.
Hey, I'm Samuel.
Software Engineer
Open to work·--:--
I build web and mobile products, work on backend systems, and turn ideas into things people can actually use.
About
I'm Samuel. I build things for the web and phones, usually in TypeScript, usually because there's a problem I want to solve.
I'm drawn to the parts people don't always see: making an app work without a reliable connection, figuring out why a request takes four seconds instead of forty milliseconds, or making a screen feel faster without adding more to it. That's where a lot of the real work happens.
I've built Melo, a chat app that translates messages between people who speak 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 started with a problem I wanted to solve for myself.
I'm open to software engineering opportunities where I can keep learning, work with good engineers, and ship useful products. If you'd like to work together, my email is at the bottom of the page.
