I’m already building something and want to take it further

Something I’m proud of is building Rekme, a tool that helps people manage the recommendation letter process for applications. If someone is applying to schools, jobs, scholarships, or other programs that require recommendation letters, there are usually a lot of moving pieces. They have to ask the right people, keep track of deadlines, send reminders, and make sure each letter gets where it needs to go. Rekme is meant to help with that by making the whole process feel more organized, clear, and less stressful. I’m proud of it because it takes a problem that many people quietly struggle with and turns it into something more manageable. Instead of people juggling everything in their heads or across random notes and emails, the goal is to give them one place to stay on top of what’s been done, what still needs attention, and what comes next. I like that it’s practical, but also genuinely helpful during an important moment in someone’s life.
