Side projects
Apps I build on the side.
A few small products I work on under the Tech Efficient umbrella. All three ship from a single React Native codebase to iOS, Android, and the web — same logic, three platforms, one repo.
GroupFood
I'm picking up food. What do you want?
One person at the counter, everyone's order on hand. Pick a restaurant, invite friends, see every order — built so the runner never has to translate texts into a list.

Where this fits
Mobile + web from one codebase, for real businesses
The apps above are personal, but the same setup is exactly what a lot of small businesses need: people in the field who use a phone, plus a back-office team who uses a browser, all working off the same data.
Warehouse + back office
Scan in/out on the floor, report from the desk
Warehouse staff scan barcodes on a phone to check inventory in or out; managers see live counts, exceptions, and adjustments from the same data in the web app.
Field service + dispatch
Techs in the truck, dispatch on the board
Field technicians work their day from a phone — job details, signatures, photos, sign-off. The office runs the schedule and customer history from the web.
Customer + admin
Customer-facing app, internal portal in the browser
Customers download a phone app to book, message, or check status; your staff handles approvals, billing, and oversight from a browser without installing anything.
Behind the scenes
One codebase, three platforms
Each of these is the same React Native app deployed three ways. iOS and Android come from the same repo via EAS; the web build is a parity target so a link works the same way whether you're on a phone or a laptop.
React Native + Expo
One TypeScript codebase. iOS and Android builds from the same source via EAS, with TestFlight and Play Console internal tracks for staging.
Web parity
The same components render in the browser via React Native Web — so a link works whether the recipient is on a phone, tablet, or desktop.
Shared backend
PHP API on a small VPS, MySQL, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push, PostHog for analytics, Sentry for crashes. The boring stuff, wired in once.
Have an app idea?
Same setup is available for client work — get to a real product without burning two weeks on plumbing.
