Projects

Built for Michael Distel

FoodRazor

From paper chaos to automated procurement — built the platform that digitizes restaurant invoice processing, automates supplier ordering, and tracks ingredient price fluctuations in real-time. The founder (a serial restaurateur) was drowning in manual paperwork across 5 locations. I architected an Angular + Node.js stack with Firebase real-time sync, OCR-based invoice scanning, and ML-driven price trend predictions. What started as a single-restaurant tool grew into a multi-country operation.

Corecircle

Fitness social network that actually kept people moving — built the backend and ML recommendation engine that matched users with workouts, trainers, and accountability partners. The founder had a vision for AI-driven fitness personalization but the existing codebase was a monolithic Nest.js app that couldn't handle real-time interactions. I introduced Nx monorepo for shared code, Redis pub/sub for live workout sessions, and a collaborative filtering ML pipeline that boosted engagement 3x.

Roley — Make a Movie!

A web app that turns kids into movie directors. Physical craft boxes with scripts and props pair with a SvelteKit app that records, edits, and merges videos with 50+ transitions using ffmpeg.wasm. Features multi-camera recording, real-time processing, and AWS-backed media storage. The founder (a former children's TV producer) wanted to combine physical play with digital creativity — I made the tech invisible so kids just have fun.

Connectful

Networking app with Tinder-like UI and Machine Learning algorithm to match like-minded professionals. Built during the pandemic when in-person networking vanished. The founder needed a platform that could replace conference hallway conversations — I built real-time matching with collaborative filtering, virtual event integration, and icebreaker automation that drove 40% weekly active user retention.

Built for Peter Visser

GoPingu

Marketing team management platform with a Trello-like interface and a marketplace of reusable project templates. The founder needed to standardize how 50+ marketing agencies ran their campaigns — I built a drag-and-drop workflow builder, real-time collaboration on task boards, and a template marketplace that reduced campaign setup time from 3 days to 2 hours.

Built for Andy Gough

Microwork

Human-in-the-loop text classification platform — a marketplace connecting businesses needing data labeling with a global workforce. Built the full-stack platform handling user onboarding, task assignment, quality control, and payment processing. The founder needed a reliable way to scale human classification without managing a distributed team manually.

Built for Thomas Wusatiuk

CallTrack

Call center analytics platform — ingests call metadata from Twilio and telephony providers, visualizes agent performance, detects call drop patterns, and automates phone number provisioning based on geographic routing rules. The founder needed visibility into a chaotic multi-provider setup.

Built for Hamish Ogilvy

Sajari

Enterprise dashboard for a search and recommendations engine-as-a-service. Built a single-page application that let customers configure search relevance, monitor query analytics, and A/B test ranking algorithms — without touching code. The founder needed a UI that could surface complex ML model performance to non-technical product managers.

Code Review & Architecture Audit

Deep-dive code review for a Node.js REST API codebase that was falling apart under production load. Documented callback hell, code inconsistency, missing error handling, and security gaps. Delivered a prioritized refactoring roadmap that the team used to cut incident rate by 60% in 3 months.

Homelab

Open-source infrastructure-as-code framework for managing multi-server Docker-based services with automated deployment, monitoring, and backups. Self-host your own cloud with Traefik, Immich, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, Home Assistant, and 20+ more services.

Financy

Open-source, self-hostable finance tracking for individuals, families, and small businesses. Features double-entry accounting, multi-currency support, real-time collaboration, and PWA capabilities.

Air Quality Sensor

DIY ESP32-based air quality monitoring system measuring PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10 particles, CO2, temperature, and humidity. Integrates with Home Assistant for smart home automation and real-time alerts.
