A body-mass-index tracker that grew into a small health companion. It started as a single calculation screen and now covers daily habits — water, steps, sleep, breathing — without losing the thing people came for: a straight answer in two taps.

I wrote every layer of it. Jetpack Compose UI with Material 3 and a hand-built theme engine, Room and DataStore for local storage, WorkManager for reminders, and Health Connect for step data. Camera-based heart rate uses CameraX. Revenue comes from AdMob and a RevenueCat subscription that removes ads.

The most recent release cut the download to under half its previous size through R8 rules, unbundled ML Kit and bundle splits — a change users notice more than any feature.

  • Instant BMI with an animated gauge and colour-coded WHO or DGE classification.
  • Ideal weight range derived from height, age and gender, with progress tracking.
  • Health dashboard — daily missions, water, steps, sleep and a Zen breathing screen.
  • Heart rate measured through the camera using photoplethysmography.
  • Metric, imperial and stones, plus 23 translated locales.
  • Charts drawn on Canvas so history renders fast with no charting dependency.

about

I like the part of the job most people skip — the release notes, the crash logs, the 4 MB you can still shave off a bundle.

I work solo under the name Solo Valhalla Labs, which means I do the whole loop myself: sketch the screens, write the Kotlin, stand up the backend, handle the store listing, then read the reviews and go again.

Alongside my own apps I take contract work on Java and Spring Boot systems, mostly distribution and inventory platforms with real data behind them. I'm currently moving deeper into cloud and DevOps — the infrastructure side of shipping, rather than just the app on top of it.
