I design and build iOS apps, and I have shipped one to the App Store on my own.
Luminate is an AI journaling app that turns written entries into prayers. 34 Swift
source files, SwiftUI and SwiftData, built solo with no team and no prior developer
job. I handled the architecture, the AI integration, App Store Connect setup,
TestFlight, subscriptions and the release. You can open it here:
Before I started building I spent four years in B2B sales — solar systems at
Novasource Power, IT infrastructure across the Singapore market, and most recently
$20,000-$30,000 a month in new revenue at a 20%+ close rate. That means I can talk
to clients, work from a spec, and explain technical decisions without hand-holding.
I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering from De La Salle University.
I work fast with AI tooling and I am looking for part-time or contract work,
around 20 hours a week.

300-350 daily outbound calls at Green Home Makeover with a 10% conversion rate, setting 3+ qualified appointments a day and lifting team pipeline contribution by 25%. Also ran outbound across cold email and LinkedIn at Agency 270.
Four years of full-cycle B2B sales — solar systems at Novasource Power, IT infrastructure across the Singapore market with deals up to 100,000 SGD, and $5K-$10K solutions into behavioral health centers at a 20%+ close rate, generating $20,000-$30,000 in new monthly revenue.

Built an entire production app's interface in SwiftUI — every screen, state management with @Observable, navigation, and persistence through SwiftData. No UIKit fallbacks. Targeting iOS 17+, live on the App Store with paying subscription tiers configured. Live: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/luminate-ai-mood-journal/id6765854197

Designed, built and shipped a production iOS app to the App Store on my own — 34 Swift source files, SwiftUI and SwiftData, MVVM with @Observable, targeting iOS 17+. Handled the architecture, AI/LLM integration, App Store Connect setup, TestFlight, subscription configuration and the release. Self-taught, built fast with AI tooling.

Use Claude Code daily as my primary development tool — built a 34-file production iOS app with it in a language I didn't know when I started. Also engineered the prompts behind my app's core feature, which converts free-written journal entries into generated prayers with consistent tone and structure.

Built and shipped an AI product — an iOS journaling app that takes free-written entries and returns generated prayers through an LLM integration. Architected it against mock service layers so the model could be swapped without touching the app. I also use Claude Code daily as my primary development tool, which is how a non-developer shipped 34 source files in seven months.

Four years writing B2B sales copy — cold email sequences, LinkedIn outreach and proposals that produced $20,000-$30,000 in new monthly revenue. Now write all short-form content for my own app, testing headlines against measured retention data rather than opinion.
Experience: 6 months - 1 year
Built and ran the content operation for my own iOS app from zero — 90+ posts across two accounts. Grew reach roughly 4x in nine weeks by running single-variable tests against retention data. Best post reached 12,000 views organically.
Experience: 6 months - 1 year
Run two TikTok accounts for my own product — content strategy, copy, design, scheduling and analytics. All organic, no ad spend.
Experience: 6 months - 1 year
Wrote and keyword-optimised the App Store listing for my own app — title, subtitle, keyword field and description. Track impressions and product page views in App Store Connect and iterate on the listing based on them.
Experience: 6 months - 1 year
Learned Swift from zero and shipped a production app in it — 34 source files, MVVM architecture with @Observable, async/await for API calls, dependency injection through mock service layers so the AI backend could be swapped without touching the view layer.

Designed every screen of a production iOS app in SwiftUI — layout, navigation, empty states, and onboarding. Also design all my own vertical social graphics, working to safe zones and mobile-first typography.
