Deep Creator Inc. (Creator Economy)

Managed a multi-platform messaging and an AI content platform for content creators. Joined as the 1st engineer and refactored an early-stage MVP into a scalable microservice architecture.
Migrated all plain SQL queries to typed Drizzle ORM across the entire product; restructured the codebase into a pnpm monorepo with CI/CD pipelines, code standards, and deployment workflow from scratch.
Designed and implemented the full product design system, improving UX consistency and overall product trustworthiness.
Developed an AI chatter agent that autonomously handles fan conversations—context-aware, persona-driven, with re-engagement logic, smart delays, and media-aware replies that feel natural.
Built the AI content generation toolkit: multi-step image and video pipelines with Gemini-based quality estimation (the model self-grades its output before delivery), job queue with concurrency controls and stale-job recovery, and SSE-based updates.
Developed multi-platform messaging infrastructure for WhatsApp and iMessage, including cross-platform failover, webhook-based delivery confirmation, and a parallelized, retry-safe message worker.
Built the mass outreach and campaign system: audience segmentation, behavioral inbox filters, scheduled sends, and per-fan personalized opener generation.

Experience

Dashboard for AI/ML Startup

I created a very complex Vue/TypeScript-based dashboard for and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning platform that allows its users to track their Machine Learning models comfortably.

The client wanted all components to be custom (not imported from libraries), so there was a lot of work with Vue's scoped slots. I worked accordingly on the client's design system and had made some improvements there. Also, the main goal was to make the interface as beautiful and smooth as possible, so I worked a lot on animations and performance. The last task was to organize the components using Storybook.

MLOps Toys Website (UX/UI and Front-end)

https://github.com/aporia-ai/mlops.toys

This is a Nuxt.js based app I built from scratch. I've made a simple design using Figma accordingly to the client's needs and created a front-end for it with Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS. The website is straightforward and valuable to the community and can improve the project as well by contributing to the YAML list on the project's Git.

Cross-Platform App for a World Famous Sports Brand

Created a cross-platform app made with Vue, the Ionic Framework, and Firebase for a huge sports brand. The app includes some tests for users, a chatbot, and some static sections. The purpose of the app is to help people get mental help during their sports career and to analyze their progress.

Web Application for an Australian Fintech Startup

Klubba is a Vue/Firebase web application that allows Australian companies to create their own "Club”. Users can invite their customers there and offer them discount cards to use for their goods and services.

People can subscribe via Stripe and add their discount cards to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. I worked on both the front end and back end. The back end was made with Google Firebase products, such as Firestore, Hosting, and Cloud functions. I have also worked on Stripe API integration.
