helth.app

helth.app is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that allows users to track calories, nutrients, and water in-take. Dylan's idea arose from the frustration of using popular apps that provide similar functionality at the cost of user privacy by including advertisements and locking previously free features behind a paywall.

Tempo

After using popular freemium apps for tracking his time entries, Jimmy became frustrated with how the application began removing certain features. Tempo is the product of his frustration with commercially available products. Not only does it solve issues like attaching billing rates to entries but it also maintains a net-zero operating cost by running entirely on the user's device.

Jimmy Hogoboom

A software engineer with over a decade of experience building, deploying, and maintaining secure and robust applications on the web and elsewhere. The practical knowledge he has gathered through experience is amplified by a personal interest in techniques for building correct software, like test-driven development and the wonders of functional programming.

Jordon Lakoduk

Taking on unique challenging IT problems is the norm for this peculiar fellow. He started out in 2004 developing web applications utilizing the full open source LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) and he's spent the last fifteen years doing IT consulting and system administration. He likes putting together systems that aren't designed to talk, or so the vendor says...just another average day. Outside of all things tech he is an avid traveler, very amateur tennis player, and still occasionally rides a skateboard to “stay young”.

Dylan Hildenbrand

Dylan is a freelance full-stack web developer with a penchant for understanding how things work. Over the past decade, that desire to know “how things work” has led Dylan to a robust skillset ranging from front and back-end development to database administration, Linux server administration, and automation of application deployments and testing procedures.
