Building intelligent backend systems
to solve real problems

The Problem

Many personal finance tools are bloated with unnecessary features, making it overly complex for users to simply track what comes in and what goes out. Users needed a lightweight, focused tool without the overhead of full-suite financial software.

The Solution

I led the team that designed and built Fincom (MVP), a quick demo project and a streamlined expense-tracking application with a robust backend architecture to securely log, categorize, and calculate daily financial transactions. Integrated an AI chatbot for personalized financial recommendations using OpenAI API.

The Problem

Generating standardized spatial topology reports manually was a slow, error-prone process that bottlenecked spatial data analysis. Researchers and students spent hours formatting raw satellite data into usable academic reports.

The Solution

I engineered GIScopo, an automated web application deployed on Render that connects to Google Earth Engine API, ingests raw spatial data, and programmatically compiles it into clean, structured PDF reports with AI-generated insights and satellite imagery of specified locations.

The Problem

Free-tier conversational AI platforms strictly limit document uploads and query volumes, leaving students and researchers blocked during critical study sessions. Users needed unrestricted access without hitting paywalls.

The Solution

I architected a custom web platform integrating OpenAI's API, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and OCR scanning with a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model. Users plug in their own API keys and bypass standard subscription limits.

The Problem

Visual-heavy platforms frequently suffer from slow load times and inefficient media delivery, which severely damages user retention. The client needed a landing page that felt premium without sacrificing performance.

The Solution

I architected the backend infrastructure for Xthetics using Javascript, HTML/CSS, implementing an optimized processing pipeline , and serves high-resolution visual assets with aggressive caching and compression.
