DEVLog - August

Last month was productive. Like, really productive.

I took a break from the soul-crushing job hunt and focused on what I do best: building cool stuff.

Welcome, AI José Gregorio

The star of the show this month was AI José Gregorio, a medical assistant powered by AI.

(For context, José Gregorio Hernández is a legendary Venezuelan doctor and religious figure. Naming an AI after him was a bit bold, but it paid off).

I built it with React Native (frontend) and Python (backend). The biggest challenge? Handling the crushing concurrency when 100+ users jumped on it in the first week.

It had bugs. It crashed. But it worked. And it proved that people want accessible medical guidance.

I even submitted an Android version to Google Play. Fingers crossed.

”Me” Starts to Shine

My other big project, “Me”, is coming together.

It started as a frustration with existing goal-tracking apps. They were either too simple or too complex. I wanted something in the middle—a place to set goals, track interests, and eventually, find a community.

Right now, it’s just a goal tracker. But it’s my goal tracker.

I’m aiming for a V1 release by mid-September. Free. Dark mode. English and Spanish.

The Job Search Break

Job hunting sucks. It’s a rollercoaster of “We loved your profile!” followed by “Unfortunately…”

So, I stopped. I took a month to breathe, code, and remember why I love this industry. Best decision I made all year.
