Experience
Brief Assistant
A brief tool feature for a writer marketplace to help users produce better content. I was a full-stack developer in this project and worked on integrating GPT-3 to generate ideas for the brief based on a theme or subject. Also, we created a competitors tab so users can compare their brief to their competitors. This brief tool helped the writer marketplace platform deliver better content and increase user stickiness.
Appen Connect – New Onboarding Flow
The company aimed to rebuild the sign-up flow for the Appen Connect project. They sought to improve the user experience and attract more users to the platform. After we finished, we witnessed high growth in subscriptions. We built the platform with React while implementing the company's new brand.
Data Export Platform
This project aimed to create a data exporter to transfer database files (SQL) with tables and data to a different structure. We built a UI where users can set up the tables and link the columns. In the end, they have a new SQL file with the data, but in the new database structure.
