Three private products.Native on iPhone, each also on the web.

These are real builds running on my own back-ends for family and private use — not public launches. The screenshots below come from the live apps. What they do, what they shipped with, and the engineering moves behind them.

Full-stack product · web + iOS

Household property tracker

items tracked: 248
categories: 22
rooms · web + iOS: 4
CPSC recall feed: 1

Private web + native iOS app for tracking household belongings — items, photos, serial numbers, receipts, warranties — with AI-assisted capture. Pulls CPSC recall data on a schedule and flags affected items.

Claude Vision

Home Inventory web app — dashboard view with 248 items across 22 categories, room filter chips, and a grid of item cards showing photos, brands, types, and model numbers.

Web

Home Inventory iOS app — dark-mode Outside room view with a search bar and a grid of item cards (Outdoor Furniture Set, Andersen Storm Door, Flame King Propane Tank, Smart Plug, Philips Hue bulb, Suncast deck box) and a floating tab bar for Items, Recalls, and Settings.

iOS · SwiftUI

01
Multi-item shelf scans: one photo, the model extracts every product visible — brand, model, and type — in a single Claude Vision call.
02
Receipt OCR with same-day-purchase suggestions — buy a new drill at Lowe's, the app proposes adding it within the hour.
03
CPSC recall watcher runs weekly, matches against owned items by brand + model, and flags affected entries on the dashboard.

Recipe library with retrieval-augmented chat

recipes ingested: 312
photo → structured: ~6 s
on-device camera: 100%
client surfaces: web + iOS

Next.js web app and a native SwiftUI iPhone app over a shared FastAPI service. Ingests cookbook PDFs and phone-camera photos — including handwritten family recipes — extracts structured recipes with vision models, and answers cooking questions with retrieval-augmented chat.

Claude Opus + Sonnet

Recipe iOS app — Chat tab empty state, warm cream palette with a rust flame mark, headline 'What should we cook?' and three suggestion cards (Find recipes for what's in your pantry, Get cooking tips and substitutions, Plan your meals for the week); bottom tab bar with Chat, Recipes, Pantry, Meals, Import.

iOS · Chat

Recipe iOS app — Recipes library grid showing ingested recipes with thumbnails, including handwritten family recipes (Susan's Ham Bean Soup, Susan's Chicken Patties, Sugar Cookies) and printed cookbook pages (Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, Steak au Poivre).

iOS · Library

01
Handwritten family recipes get the same structured output as a printed cookbook page — vision model handles both.
02
Pantry-aware "what can I make tonight" search: hybrid vector + BM25 over recipes, filtered by what's in the fridge.
03
One back-end, two clients: the Next.js web app and the SwiftUI iPhone app share the same FastAPI service, recipe store, and RAG pipeline.

Web · Map

Theme-park dining iPhone app — Chat tab with park/area/meal filter chips at top, hero column with a Greek-temple mark, headline 'Where should we eat?', dining guide for Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, suggestion cards for restaurant recommendations, DFB ratings, and menu browsing, and a Siri hint at the bottom.

iOS · Chat

Theme-park dining iPhone app — Browse view with Magic Kingdom park filter and a list of restaurant cards (Jungle Navigation Co.

iOS · Browse

Theme-park dining iPhone app — Map tab showing a Magic Kingdom map dotted with restaurant pins (Cinderella's Royal Table, Skipper Canteen, Sleepy Hollow, Liberty Tree Tavern, Cosmic Ray's, Plaza Restaurant, Sunshine Tree Terrace, Tony's Town Square) and filter chips for Table Service, Quick Service, Snack, and Lounge.

iOS · Map

01
GPS-first retrieval: when coordinates are available, location bypasses area-name matching entirely — closer beats louder.
02
Hybrid retrieval pipeline: vector + BM25 merged with reciprocal-rank fusion, then a cross-encoder reranker on the top-K.
03
SSE streaming responses with grounded citations: every restaurant fact links back to its source document.

On Apple platforms

iOS and macOS, end to end.

All three products above ship a SwiftUI iPhone app against a back-end I built myself. I work in Xcode across iOS and macOS — including signing, provisioning, TestFlight, and Apple Developer Program submission — so the same engineer who stands the server up is also the one shipping the native client. If your project needs a public iOS or macOS app, that pipeline already works on my machine.
