I led the iOS development of BurnBar independently for over a year, working directly with the product owner to turn ideas into production features. During that time, I was responsible for designing, building, testing, and shipping nearly every major feature in the app—from SwiftUI interfaces and HealthKit integration to drink tracking, subscriptions, notifications, analytics, and App Store releases.

My work spans nearly every part of the application, including HealthKit integration, drink tracking, onboarding, subscription flows, analytics, notifications, statistics and data visualization, account management, and ongoing App Store releases.

As BurnBar grew, a second developer joined the team to help strengthen the application's architecture and engineering practices. Since then, we've worked closely together to improve the structure of the codebase, review implementation decisions, and build new features using scalable patterns. Through that collaboration, I've continued to grow as an iOS engineer while contributing to the application's continued development.

BurnBar's drinks counter animation was featured on 60fps.design, a showcase for standout iOS motion work.

I built the animation without any real guidance — just explored the idea, tried a few approaches, and shipped what felt right. It was a fun validation that going with your gut can still lead to work worth highlighting.
