1. Migrated a no-code builder (Memberstack) into modular tRPC services using Prisma, Postgres, and Supabase—reducing API response times and accelerating feature delivery.
1. Replatformed the front end to Next.js, TailwindCSS, and ShadCN, improving maintainability for rapid iteration.
1. Designed and launched AI-driven tools—headline generator, profile analyzer, lead-gen workflows—using OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Replicate.
1. Partnered with founders on prompt engineering and UX to improve AI output quality and increase conversions.
2021 — 2023
Built the entire platform from zero: wrote 100% of the first two years’ code—Node/Express backend, Prisma/Postgres ORM, GraphQL APIs and React/Vite/Chakra UI front end.
Launched MVP in under 3 months: established fast, data‑driven iteration cycles—A/B testing features and optimizing CAC, LTV and CTR—to rapidly validate product‑market fit.
Scaled to profitability in <2 years: grew a two‑sided marketplace from concept to a sustainable business, connecting hundreds of coaches with thousands of learners.
Owned product & ops: set the roadmap, streamlined onboarding flows, defined OKRs and drove cross‑functional execution to boost engagement and retention.
Engineered reliability & velocity: designed CI/CD pipelines and automated test suites that cut release cycles by 50% and delivered 99.9% uptime.
Drove fundraising success: co‑led pitch strategy and technical due diligence through multiple seed rounds, securing growth capital to fuel expansion.
