An app that turns the book 27 Pearls of College Wisdom into goals students finish each week, with a reward they choose for every ten. Each part of college life, from enrolment to professors, classes and leaving college, becomes a short list of concrete goals a student swipes off when done. Built in React Native and Expo on a NestJS, GraphQL and MongoDB backend, across four contracts with one founder between 2022 and 2025.

A finished 27 Pearls app became approved listings on the App Store and Google Play inside a one-week engagement, without a round of rejections. The week covered release builds and signing, listing copy written around the student's benefit, screenshots for every required device size, privacy declarations that matched what the app collects, and a reviewer account that worked. The app remains on Google Play today.
