Portfolio

Personal Development

Betify

Fantasy Sports Betting Mobile App

I’m currently developing a fantasy-style social sportsbook that allows friends and family to create private or public groups and wager on custom events using in-app currency with no real-money stakes. The app emphasizes competition, strategy, and social interaction rather than gambling, making it a safe and casual way to engage with sports and friendly challenges. Users can create and join groups, define their own betting events, place wagers, and track outcomes through shared leaderboards. The application is being built with React Native and TypeScript for a cross-platform mobile experience, with Google Firebase handling authentication, real-time data storage, and backend logic. Development is currently focused on core features such as user accounts, group management, event creation, and bet tracking, with plans to expand social and analytics features as the project matures.

Pure Poker

Cross-Platform Poker Game

I developed a fully featured poker game using Unity and C#, designed to run seamlessly across iOS and Android. The game implements authentic poker mechanics, including full hand evaluation, turn-based betting logic, pot management, and win determination that mirrors real-world gameplay. The application was optimized for performance and usability across different mobile ecosystems. The game was successfully published on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, where it reached 8,000+ total downloads, providing real-world experience in shipping, maintaining, and supporting a production application used by thousands of players. This game is still available for download on the Google Play Store but is no longer being maintained.
