On-Device AI, Zero Latency

Integrated Apple Foundation Models to run the scripture-aware chat assistant entirely on-device. Questions about verses, context, and cross-references are answered instantly — no network round-trip, and nothing ever leaves the user's phone.

AI-powered scripture chat with citations

Semantic Scripture Search

Built a 384-dimensional vector search engine over all 41,995 verses across the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price — so users can find relevant passages by meaning, not just keywords.

Guided Study Journeys

Designed structured study programs that walk users through topics, themes, and books over time — with progress tracking, streaks, and badges that reward consistent engagement without gamifying the experience into something hollow.

Offline-First Architecture

Swift Concurrency with actors, a local SQLite vector store, and Core Data-backed persistence mean the full library, search, and AI chat all work without a network. A FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend on Railway handles sync, auth (email + Sign in with Apple), and General Conference content.

Thoughtful SwiftUI Design

Built end-to-end in SwiftUI with MVVM, async/await, and a widget extension for the home screen. Every surface — chat, journeys, annotations, profile — is designed to feel calm and focused, staying out of the way of the text itself.
