Teamed up with my brother Matt to create a daily dog breed quiz game inspired by Wordle, giving dog lovers a fun way to test and grow their knowledge.

Grew the game to over 1,500 active players, showing strong engagement and excitement within the pet enthusiast community.

Built a community-driven experience where users can submit photos of their dogs to be featured in the game, fostering connection and participation.

Integrated The Dog API to provide a comprehensive and accurate breed database, keeping the quiz both educational and reliable.

Launched a fully serverless version on Vercel, ensuring smooth performance, fast load times, and easy scalability without extra infrastructure overhead.

Designing a daily quiz that is fun and approachable for dog lovers of all experience levels while keeping it challenging enough to be engaging.
