After winning the WWDC’19 scholarship I’ve decided to fully commit to developing apps for Apple platforms. Ever since high school I was fascinated with the capabilities of natural language processing. The idea that we may interact with a machine using something so core to a human being as voice or text continues to amaze me.
I knew that whatever project I end up completing, it had to be powered by NLP. I’ve attended WWDC’19 thinking about an app I’ve internally called Calpiece - an all in one calendar, reminders and notes with natural language input as a primary method of interaction. After developing it for a while I couldn’t help but notice that it started to become a scaled-down version of a personal assistant like Siri. It didn’t feel unique, I myself didn’t see a reason why someone would use it over a preinstalled, system provided solution.
Scrambling for a new idea, I’ve once again asked myself the same questions. What app is missing from the App Store? What app can I make that I would enjoy developing and use myself?
At that time I have been attending personal therapy. I was really satisfied with the impact it had on my life, but few things about it were continuing to bother me. Being time-limited and so regularly scheduled, sessions with my psychologist felt quite disconnected from every other relationship I ever had. Fifty minutes, at the same time every week - there wasn’t much room for spontaneity. I couldn’t just call my therapist and say what had been occupying my mind. Feelings change and observations get forgotten over time.
Being a developer with so many incredible tools at my disposal, I've wanted to solve this problem by helping people capture whatever matters to them. That’s how Mindpiece came to be.

Mindpiece has been an idea that grew on me for a long time. It slowly crystalized and now it’s time for it to mature. I constantly explore new ways how to improve it and look into the future for a next ambitious project to pursue.
Are you a fellow developer that would like to collaborate with me? Are you a business owner wanting someone to make a great app for your company? I’d love to hear from you!
