Sharp Pocket

Complete Financial Utility App

My Foundational Fintech Build

Sharp Pocket is a complete financial utility app that handles everything from money transfers to bill payments. I built every component myself—the React Native mobile app, Node.js backend, and the web presence. It's designed to be reliable and trustworthy for everyday financial transactions.

Built for a client who needed a reliable financial utility app that users could trust. The focus was on creating something consistent and dependable—where users feel confident about their money and transactions.
