Side Projects
SyncUp
2026
Solo-built decision app for groups of 2–10, ranked by a "Sync Score" ·
Live app
- Conceived, scoped, and shipped SyncUp solo, end to end: authored the PRD, designed the data model, and directed AI-paired engineering (Claude Code) to a live production app.
- Architected a category-agnostic data model and matching algorithm (independent swipes ranked into a "Sync Score"), built to extend from 2 launch categories to 5 more without re-architecture.
- Set product principles in the PRD: scoped SyncUp as a decision layer that hands off to existing inventory, enforced a 10-second landing rule, and specified accessibility (button alternative to every swipe, reduced motion, contrast-checked themes).
- Instrumented a 16-event PostHog analytics taxonomy and shipped an automated 48h/7d/30d data-retention policy pre-launch, applying enterprise-grade requirements discipline to a self-directed 0→1 build.
