Joe O'Connell
Backend Developer
My name is Joe O'Connell and I am a junior at UW Madison studing Computer Science and Finance. Mobile app development has been a pasion of mine since I took my first computer science class (with Rob) senior year of high school. With Arete we have become aware of how important the user experience is to an app. Rob has done an incredible job making the user interface while I ensure that the user is at the right place at the right time with the right data. We will ensure that the user has a safe, easy and enjoyable experience with our products.
Rob Sullivan
Frontend Developer
Hey - my names Robert Sullivan I'm currently an undergraduate student at UNC pursuing degrees in Computer Science and Math. Alongside Joe on Arete, I've had the opportunity to leverage Flutter to create pristine, scalable mobile applications. It's my hope you will find that our projects user experiences only endorse this! A huge motivation towards Arete's mission to accelerate small businesses was my part in a Research Triangle incubator in Fall of 2022. In a cohort of other local entrepreneurs, we were able to use our individual strengths to help those around us in a competitive (isn't it always?) market. This type of energy is what you will find when working with us! Please contact if you're interested.
Projects
Arete
From the Greek : The act of living up to one's potential. An app for electronic journaling that's personal and involves working towards small goals in all aspects of one's life. Research shows that just working towards goals increases a person's sense of well-being. In addition, the app provides reminders and reinforcement. This serves to MOTIVATE which involves a release of dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter associated with happiness. Also, the app provides affirmation which stimulates the REWARD CENTER of the brain and you also get a release of dopamine. It is time to save a generation (or two) and get on board with Arete!
