Developed applications with the frontend team at Flourish, whose flagship app is focused on making financial literacy fun and accessible. Primarily used NativeScript-Vue.JS. My favorite mini-game I built is a popup shell game, in which coins are hidden within a pseudorandomly-chosen one of three pigs and they are shuffled so that the user should try to keep track of which pig had the coins in it. It appears after users save a sum of money.
