JUSTIN HOBBS / SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
I build web and native iOS applications that make everyday tasks easier. My work connects practical problem-solving with the people who use the software.

FROM INTERFACE TO INTEGRATION
01 / SELECTED WORK
A closer look at what I’m building and the decisions behind it.
A shared home for a family’s day.
Calendars, routines, chores, and meal plans belong together. Tugboat brings them into one household dashboard, with a native app for iPhone and iPad and a shared backend.
I started with a web application, then evolved the main experience into SwiftUI. The Next.js backend continues to handle accounts and household data through a mobile REST API.

BEHIND THE BUILD
A shared iPad and a parent’s phone serve different purposes. Tugboat’s interface adapts to both: more room for the week on a tablet, and focused views for checking in on a phone.
SwiftUI provides the iPhone and iPad experience. EventKit brings in calendars already configured on the device.
A Next.js API and Turso database connect household members, routines, chores, recipes, and meal plans across devices.
Account authentication, member roles, and household permissions support the different people using the same family dashboard.
A disc golf inventory and bag-building application. I built its React front end and Ruby on Rails back end, with Material UI for the interface, as my software engineering capstone.
02 / EXPERIENCE
My background spans software development, live production, and helping people feel comfortable with technology.

Managed productions across three campuses, implemented an online streaming service, and developed, trained, and managed more than 40 production volunteers.
03 / A LITTLE CONTEXT
Before I wrote software, I worked behind the scenes in live audio and video production.
That work meant troubleshooting under pressure, coordinating people and equipment, and explaining technical ideas to people with different levels of experience. Those habits still shape how I build software.
I completed Flatiron School’s software engineering program in 2022 and joined Degnon Associates in 2023. Today, I’m continuing to build Tugboat and looking for a team where I can contribute through development, implementation, or technical support.
Outside of work, my interests include music, technology, and disc golf. I’m based in San Marcos, Texas.
