🟢 Currently: Building my first iOS app with AI

10 years of coding experience.
2 hours to use it.

I'm Mei Park, a 10-year SWE turned SAHM. Building iOS apps in naptime sprints. Parenting constraints may actually be a superpower.

Current hypothesis:

The journey is the product

Shipping Code in (Nap)Time Blocks 🚀

Week 1: "I have ~2 hours a day. Can I actually build an app?" Discovered Claude Code. Game changer.
Week 2: First working prototype in record time AI pair programming = 10x productivity boost
Week 3: Chaos testing (aka parenthood) "Make it work with one hand" = best UX advice ever
Today: Shipping features while building a community Sharing how I ship on toddler time

The Parent Developer Stack

⚡ "No Time" Tech Tools:
  • Claude Code: "Here's my idea, make it happen"
  • Drafts App: Quick capture prompt ideas
  • Working Copy: Commit from anywhere
🎯 The Method:

5-min sprints while toddler watches Helper Cars. One feature. Make it work. Ship. Repeat.
