Title
Summary
Created PARKLYO, an App Store iOS app to pin anything in the real world — parking spots, seats, bags, meet-up points — and find it later. Built end-to-end: design, coding, testing, and App Store deployment. Stack evolved across React Native and native SwiftUI / Core Location / MapKit / CloudKit approaches documented on davidrabinow.com.

Impact metrics
Live on Apple App Store (id6749743518); independent full product lifecycle from concept → TestFlight → App Store in ~3 months; Meet-Up Pins for sharing locations.
M&T angle
Solo founder product: engineering depth plus App Store go-to-market, privacy positioning, and iteration from real user feedback.
Reflection
Location products fail at edge cases simulators miss: garages, dead zones, battery drain. Shipping forced local-first design, privacy clarity, and ruthless UX simplicity.
