Ideas into
Interfaces.
I'm Romel, an independent developer and designer. I build thoughtful, high-quality digital products that are a joy to use.
Work
A selection of projects where I've crafted the design, development, or both.
RecalTape
Standard calculator apps are ephemeral. I wanted to build an app that felt familiar but saved every calculation automatically in a clear, readable "tape."
Acting as the sole developer, I handled everything from UI/UX design to implementation and App Store submission. Built natively for iOS, it achieved a 4.8-star rating, praised for its simplicity and thoughtful UX.
StellarSync
In an era of data breaches, a truly private file storage solution is a necessity. StellarSync was built with end-to-end encryption as its core principle, ensuring only the user can access their files.
I led the front-end development, creating a clean and intuitive interface with React that made complex cryptographic operations feel simple and seamless to the end-user.
Writing
Thoughts on design, technology, and building better products.

Productivity, Tools, and a Simple Desk
A look at the specific hardware and software I use daily, and a reflection on how minimalism in our tools can lead to more focused work...
I believe great products are built at the intersection of curiosity and craft.
My journey into code began with a simple "Hello, World!", but I quickly realized that the magic isn't just in making things work—it's in making them work beautifully and intuitively for people.
My philosophy is that technology should feel effortless. I focus on clean code, thoughtful user experience, and a meticulous attention to detail to ensure every product I build is not only functional but also delightful.
When I'm not at my desk, I'm probably exploring a new coffee shop, hiking a trail, or reading a good book.
