WWDC 2018 Amanda Southworth
summary
16-year-old developer runs a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Astro Labs that ships free, no-ads, no-data apps for marginalized people. Builds Anxiety Helper — CBT-based exercises, discreet guided panic-attack prompts, credited with reducing suicide attempts — and a fully encrypted LGBTQ+ safety app with a timer that sends contacts an anonymous location if not canceled and a hidden fake interface to avoid detection. Uses Swift, AI/ML and SMS integrations; labor is the only cost.
