Experience
AI Video Sentiment and Sales Intelligence Platform
• Multi-modal Sentiment Analysis: Integrated OpenAI Whisper for high-fidelity transcription and custom NLP models to detect shifts in speaker tone and sentiment (e.g., frustration, hesitation, enthusiasm).
• Automated QA Scoring: Built a pipeline that automatically scores video interactions based on key performance metrics, allowing managers to identify "at-risk" accounts without watching hours of footage.
• Searchable Video Knowledge Base: Implemented vector search (embeddings), enabling users to query the video library semantically (e.g., "Show me clips where the client mentioned budget concerns").
This tool transforms raw video data into a strategic asset, reducing churn by alerting teams to negative sentiment trends early in the customer lifecycle.
EasyBilanz—Invoicing Inside WordPress
Enterprise HubSpot Data Sync and Approval Dashboard
• Selective Bi-directional Sync: Engineered logic to merge data intelligently—preserving manual sales team updates while enriching missing fields from the external database.
• Approval Workflow: Created a React-based "Staging Dashboard" where managers can review, flag, or approve bulk data changes before they hit the production CRM, preventing data corruption.
• Automated Field Mapping: Reduced manual data entry by around 70% by automating the translation of legacy database fields into standardized HubSpot properties.
Conversion-optimized Survey and Lead Qualification Engine
CLIENT VALUE
• Higher completion rate through better UX patterns (button inputs and progressive disclosure).
• Cleaner, more structured lead data (reduces manual cleanup).
• Easier campaign iteration (forms become a “funnel,” not a static questionnaire).
Website Audits, Web Vitals, Technical Optimization
• Code optimization: Minified and combined stylesheets and scripts to reduce load times and improve render blocking.
• Legacy Upgrades: Refactored outdated codebases to align with modern web standards.
• Cross-browser testing: Utilized BrowserStack to perform real-device testing across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS platforms for seamless cross-browser compatibility.
• Web performance enhancements: Streamlined assets through image compression and lazy loading. Implemented advanced speed optimization strategies to ensure top-tier Web Vitals scores.
• Caching and CDN integration: Deployed and fine-tuned Cloudflare, CDN, and both server-side and client-side caching mechanisms to boost performance and reduce latency.
These audits significantly improved load times, Core Web Vitals metrics, and overall site efficiency, ensuring an optimal user experience and enhanced technical SEO performance.
