Things I’ve built outside work.

Three screens from the Samba app: the companion tools menu, a game against the AI, and the meld calculator

Samba

A React Native and Expo app for Samba, the three-deck Canasta variant. Play against an AI opponent that tracks discards, or use table tools for in-person games: score tracker, turn timer, meld calculator, and game history.
