The term “Side Hustle” refers to a professional working on their own projects during spare time, while still holding a full-time job. I began my own side hustle journey in 2007. Today, I’m proud to be the creator of several internationally recognized applications, including TestWise, ClinicWise, BuildWise (Winner of the 2018 Ruby International Award), and WhenWise. Yes, I developed all of them myself, and continue to maintain these four, along with several other minor apps, in my spare time, solo.
