Social Recipe Manager

A full-stack, social recipe management platform. The mobile app is built natively in Swift for iOS, backed by a Go API structured with a layered architecture for clean separation of concerns. Authentication is handled via OAuth, and the data lives in PostgreSQL.

Features include:

• Recipes: create, organize, fork and save from other users
• Social: user profiles, group sharing, trending feed with custom algorithms
• Planning: calendar based meal planning with integrated shopping lists
• Search: find recipes by ingredient combinations, name, or tag
• Import: manual entry, web scraping with multiple parsing strategies, or free text and handwriting recognition via generative AI
• Cook Mode: interactive step-by-step cooking with the ability to invite friends to cook along in real time
• Notifications: push notifications for social activity and meal reminders

The backend is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, with infrastructure managed through Terraform. Go has quickly become one of my favorite languages — I use it daily at work building microservices and internal tooling, and this app keeps me pushing further with it outside of working hours.

Targeting a 2026 release. The code is in a private repo for now, but I’m happy to demo the live version or walk through specific technical decisions.
