summary
A mobile developer turned an eco-volunteering mission on Tetiaroa into a side project app called “We Spot Turtles!” that tracked sea turtle nesting and later got featured in Google’s #WeArePlay campaign in Australia. The talk explains how technical expertise was redirected into an impact-driven project, the challenges and doubts encountered while developing the app between freelance jobs, and the role of community and personal connections in growing the tool for marine biodiversity protection.
