Dallin Bland

Software Engineer

I build and ship ambitious mobile products and the systems behind them—from polished native experiences to secure backends, realtime features, and AI-powered workflows.

Selected work

Products with real depth.

The projects that best represent how I work: owning the product, sweating the details, and building the systems behind the interface.

Production social movie platform

Ovaxon / ReelTalk

I built and shipped Ovaxon as a native SwiftUI app, then evolved the product into ReelTalk: a universal movie community spanning iOS, Android, and web from one Expo codebase. It combines discovery, social reviews, collaborative movie matching, AI recommendations, and a paid subscription product.

App StoreWeb app

What I built

  • Shipped a real consumer product with subscriptions, account lifecycle, moderation, notifications, and deep links
  • Designed a production Supabase backend with row-level security, Edge Functions, storage, and realtime presence
  • Ported the full product surface to 52 cross-platform routes while preserving the live backend and native integrations

Infrastructure & developer platform

Dashactyl

A production-minded control plane for provisioning and operating Minecraft servers and bot workers on Docker. I took it beyond a basic dashboard into a resilient platform with durable background work, resource governance, observability, and operational recovery tools.

Source code

What I built

  • Built queued, per-server operations with bounded concurrency, audit trails, health checks, and graceful shutdowns
  • Added live console streaming, file management, backups, scheduled restarts, metrics, and plugin installation
  • Hardened deployment with isolated workers, Redis, encrypted secrets, role-based permissions, CI, and security checks

AI nutrition & fitness companion

Formaday

A privacy-focused native iOS app that turns nutrition and activity data into a practical daily plan. Formaday supports fast meal capture through photos, barcodes, text, and food search while connecting the full experience to Apple Health.

What I built

  • Built AI photo and text analysis behind authenticated Edge Functions, with USDA enrichment and safe fallbacks
  • Integrated HealthKit, progress trends, smart reminders, widgets, Live Activities, and CSV data export
  • Protected per-user health data with private storage, row-level security, anonymous onboarding, and account deletion

Native multiplayer card game

Euchre

A polished native Euchre game designed to work wherever the table is: solo, around one device, over a local network, or online. The project pairs a carefully modeled rules engine with multiple networking modes and a distinctly tactile game experience.

What I built

  • Implemented five AI difficulty levels, deterministic daily challenges, house rules, match history, and statistics
  • Built Game Center matchmaking and private tables alongside nearby multiplayer with QR and table codes
  • Added iCloud sync, achievements, leaderboards, VoiceOver support, reduced motion, and zero tracking

About

I'm a software engineering student at BYU–Idaho and an independent product developer. My best work sits at the intersection of thoughtful product design and serious engineering: native mobile apps, cross-platform experiences, secure data systems, and infrastructure that holds up beyond a demo.

I've taken products from an idea to the App Store, built subscription and social systems, and worked across Swift, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Docker, and realtime services. I'm looking for a software engineering role where I can own meaningful problems and keep shipping.
