Apps live on the App Store, built solo

Shareef is where I build.
I'm Dean, 18, in Las Vegas. I've shipped three apps to the App Store on my own, from the code to the marketing. Right now I'm building Muzzmi.

Live on the App StoreVersion 1.0.5 in review
01What I'm building
Halal directories are out of date, and you can't tell who certified a place.
Muzzmi is the map of Muslim life near you. Every restaurant, grocer, butcher and masjid shows how its halal status is known, with the certifier named and the evidence shown. Prayer times, a Qibla compass, a label scanner and Muslim-owned services live on the same map. Free, and no account needed.

Everything, built by me
The native iOS app in Expo, the web app at muzzmi.com, and a Supabase backend with Postgres, PostGIS and row level security. Scheduled crawlers pull from certifier registers and OpenStreetMap, check each place against the business's own site, and geocode it. Owners claim a listing by a text to the phone number on file and pay through Stripe.
Sign in with Apple and Google, report and block moderation, a test suite that runs before every ship, and every App Store submission, screenshot and header. Six releases since September 30.

03How I work
Build it, grow it, read the market.
Build
Native iOS in Expo, web in Next.js, Supabase and Postgres behind both, Stripe for money. I build with Claude Code and own everything that reaches production: the schema, the security review, the store submission, the fix at 2am.
- Expo and React Native
- Next.js on Vercel
- Supabase, Postgres, PostGIS
- Stripe, Twilio, App Store Connect
Grow
Daily short-form for every app: TikTok and Instagram carousels, AI creators and animated story videos made with Higgsfield, App Store screenshots and headers, and cold outreach to the people the product needs.
- TikTok and Instagram, daily
- AI video, scripted then scored
- App Store listings and headers
- Cold email and DMs
Markets
Trading since freshman year of high school: crypto, memecoins, perps, prediction markets and futures. I know DeFi on Solana and Hyperliquid, and I built an algorithmic futures bot.

04What I'm looking for
I'm joining an early-stage team in product or growth. Internship or full time, open to relocating.
I finished my associate degree in high school and I'm skipping the rest of college to build. If you're early and moving fast, and you want someone who has already taken three products from a first sketch to the App Store, I'd like to talk.
