ROAM / roʊm /

Most evenings end the same way: you pick up your phone planning to find something to do and put it down ninety minutes later having done nothing. ROAM replaces the scroll with a discovery gesture that ends with you out of the house — not deeper in the sofa.

ROAM ships on iOS, Android, and the web from a shared codebase. Each platform gets native-feeling input — gesture physics, haptics, deep links — without a per-platform team.

I owned every layer: brand and identity, design system, UI, content pipeline for curating places, backend API, location and route data, infrastructure, App Store + Play Store submission, the analytics that tell me which cards land, and the customer-facing site at go-roam.uk.

Building it solo meant every product call was mine — naming, pricing, what the empty state says, which permissions to ask for, when to push, when to shut up. The first strangers using it shifted my opinions about all of them within a week.

The portfolio you're reading is, in a way, a side-effect of ROAM. Shipping a product end to end teaches you faster than any roadmap you didn't write.
