Overview
Conceived, designed and built a social sports app from scratch using AI-assisted development workflows. Leveraging vibe-coding tools and a modern stack including Supabase (database), Render (backend), and Rork AI (frontend/design) alongside AI coding agents such as Cursor and Jules, I independently took the product from concept through to a functional MVP. The first release focuses on community football in Manchester, enabling players to discover and join local games, track match statistics, and receive personalised post-match highlights. Alongside product development, I explored AI-driven brand and marketing workflows, experimenting with tools such as Google Veo and Google Labs Whisk to generate visual concepts and launch assets for a sign-up landing page created using Framer.
