Reintroducing myself! 27, working in finance, and launching my first app tomorrow

Hey everyone!

Figured I'd reintroduce myself since I first joined back in April, and honestly, a lot has changed since then haha.

I'm Cyprus, 27, and I work full-time in corporate finance. About a year ago, I started building my first app, Savd: Save Money, with absolutely zero coding experience.

Would you use an app that interrupts impulse purchases?

Hey everyone!

I'm Cyprus, 27, and I've spent the past year building Savd while working full-time in corporate finance.

The idea actually came from my own spending habits. I realized I wasn't always buying things because I wanted them. Sometimes I just enjoyed the experience of shopping, especially those random late-night purchases.

So I started building something to help with that.

30 Years of Coding, and Somehow I'm Just Getting Started.

Hey everyone, figured I'd introduce myself.

I've been a developer for about 30 years now. Spent most of that time buried in financial algorithms, trading systems, and enough lines of code to make a normal person question my sanity.
