Projects
Soci-al
There is an unnecessary amount of time spent on searching for goals, rather than carrying them out. The idea behind Soci-al (Social + Goal) is to speed up the process of finding goals, so that you can focus on completing them.
Patch
There is a lack of services that provide a quick and easy method of price matching, allowing individuals to find the best price on a particular product among multiple retailors. The goal was to create an application that would allow users to do just that.
