ChoreQuest
Earn It. Learn It. Build It.

THE CHALLENGE
Teaching kids about money is hard.
Most parents never had a systematic way to make it happen.
👧
Kids today
Don't connect effort to reward. Think money appears magically. Aren't ready for the real financial world.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Parents today
Hand out allowances without accountability. Pay for chores then forget to track. Say 'I'll pay you next time' — and never do.
There had to be a better way.

ENVIRONMENTS
Production is sacred. So is the path to get there.
DEV
MacBook Air
  • 💻 Hot reload, full stack
  • 🐳 Docker Compose locally
  • Instant feedback loop
CI / TEST
GitHub Actions
  • 🧪 3 test suites in parallel
  • 🗄️ Real PostgreSQL (not mocks)
  • 📱 Flutter analyze + widget tests
  • 🔐 Security & lint checks
PRODUCTION
NAS · Docker Swarm
  • 🚀 Rolling deploy on merge to main
  • 📲 OTA push to all 6 family devices
  • ♻️ Zero-downtime updates
From merged PR to deployed app: minutes.
CI/CD
Shipping with confidence.
NAS runner handles api-checks, web-checks, mobile-checks in parallel
Mac Mini runner builds and signs iOS releases — Xcode + code signing certificates
Wireless OTA deploy to 5 iPhones + 1 Android on every production release — no USB, no App Store wait
Dependabot opens security PRs automatically — 7 trusted GitHub Actions publishers allowlisted
flutter analyze --fatal-warnings runs before flutter test — no silent failures in CI
SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
Your family's data. Treated like it matters.
🔐
JWT + Refresh Rotation
Access tokens expire fast. Refresh tokens rotate on every use.
#️⃣
Hashed Token Storage
Refresh tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes. Never plaintext.
🏠
Family Data Isolation
Every query scoped to familyId. Cross-tenant access: impossible.
🗑️
GDPR + LGPD Erasure
Full erasure pipeline: Postgres + S3 + Redis — atomic, audited.
🔒
Brute-Force Lockout
PIN entry lockout. Rate limiting on password reset. Redis-backed.
⏱️
730-Day Evidence Deletion
BullMQ scheduled jobs delete evidence photos automatically at GDPR deadline.
Not because regulators require it. Because families deserve it.

I wanted to prove that a single engineer — with the right tools and the right discipline — can build software that holds up to genuine scrutiny.
The age of the 10x developer isn't about working harder. It's about having better collaborators — including artificial ones.
