Emily Ridge
Software Developer • Faith-Based Founder • Builder for the Kingdom 

I’m a software developer and purpose-driven product builder with a passion for using technology to serve people and glorify God. After earning my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Oklahoma, I launched PurposeTheApp (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/purposetheapp/id6746056677) — a faith-based iOS platform that turns everyday actions into shared spiritual impact. 

I believe that technology, when led by the Spirit, can be a vessel for healing, connection, and radical generosity. My experience spans full-stack development, mobile engineering (SwiftUI, Firebase), AI/ML projects, and leading cross-functional teams in both academic and independent settings. 

I’m drawn to opportunities that unite deep technical work with eternal significance — especially platforms that foster community, prayer, mutual care, or digital discipleship. Whether I’m writing code, designing features, or planning product direction, my goal is always the same: build tools that reflect God’s will and serve His people.
