Expense Tracker

Mobile expense tracking app with wallet management, authentication, real-time sync, transaction history, and visual spending insights.

At a Glance

Problem

How do you keep balances accurate in real-time while making expense logging fast and intuitive on mobile?

Approach

Implemented an Expo React Native app backed by Firebase for authentication and live data sync. Structured wallet, transaction, and analytics screens for quick daily usage.

What it shows

Shipped mobile-first app with Firebase real-time sync and clean UX for daily usage

What I Was Solving

Create a lightweight mobile finance app that keeps balances accurate in real time while making income/expense logging fast and intuitive.

How I Approached It

Implemented an Expo React Native app backed by Firebase for authentication and live data sync. Structured wallet, transaction, and analytics screens for quick daily usage.

What This Includes

Wallet creation and balance management

Income and expense transaction logging

Authentication and profile management

Searchable transaction history

Visual statistics for spending trends

Real-time synchronization with Firebase

System Overview

An Expo React Native client writes and reads wallet/transaction data through Firebase services. Firebase Authentication secures sessions, Firestore syncs data in real time, and cloud functions can support derived analytics workflows.

Data Model

The expense tracker stores users, wallets, and transactions in a Firebase-backed model that supports fast sync and easy filtering by wallet, date, and transaction type.

User Flow

A user signs in, creates a wallet, records income or expense transactions, searches history, and reviews spending trends through charts and summaries.

Background Flow

Each transaction writes through Firebase, updates wallet totals, recalculates category stats, and syncs changes across devices without manual refresh.

What It Demonstrates

Built a complete personal finance workflow for mobile users

Enabled real-time updates for wallet and transaction history

Improved usability with search and visual stats

Maintained a clean TypeScript-first codebase for scalability
