A fast-growing LegalTech startup wanted to streamline contract review for law firms by using AI to extract and analyze key clauses from uploaded documents.

Key Features:
• Upload contracts and extract critical clauses using GPT-based NLP
• Netherlands/English support using i18next
• PDF parsing and structured data extraction
• REST API and file handling with secure uploads
• Dashboard to view and manage analyzed documents

An AI-driven SaaS platform that lets children become the stars of their own beautifully illustrated, printed storybooks. I architected the full stack—from the Next.js front end and Node.js back end to GPT-powered story generation and automated PDF rendering for print-ready output. I integrated Stripe for subscription billing and one-time purchases, and built an intuitive customization flow where parents personalize characters, names, and themes. The platform processes each book in under 500ms and has scaled to 2,000+ books sold and 10,000+ stories created. I also implemented CI/CD pipelines on AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS), ensuring 99.9% uptime and seamless deployments.

A purpose-built sustainability reporting platform designed to automate and streamline ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosures for large industrial corporations. I worked as a back-end developer on this project, contributing to the automation pipelines that collect, validate, and structure sustainability data from various source systems. My work focused on ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and verifiability to meet rigorous third-party audit standards. I also collaborated with the product and data science teams to integrate reporting workflows that support financialized sustainability disclosures aligned with international standards.

HawaiiDating.net is a Hawaii-focused dating and lifestyle platform that combines an online community layer (member profiles, messaging, groups, forums, photo and video sharing, chatrooms) with an editorial publication covering date spots, couples travel, and local culture across all six Hawaiian islands.
As lead developer, I built the platform end-to-end. On the engineering side: Next.js with SSR for SEO, PostgreSQL via Prisma for the data layer, NextAuth.js for authentication, and DigitalOcean Spaces for media storage. I designed the schemas for member profiles, content publishing, categorization, and engagement tracking, and shipped the admin tooling that drives the editorial workflow.
On the product and growth side, I defined the dual content + community model, established the four-pillar editorial structure (Travel, Island Life, Local Culture, Health & Wellness), and built the on-page SEO foundation (canonical URLs, Open Graph and Twitter card metadata, structured slug architecture, semantic article markup).

The platform serves Hawaii residents and the around 10 million annual visitors to the islands through a unified content-to-community funnel designed for compounding organic growth.
