Project History

AI Automating Employee Mental Health Assessments

https://www.jubile.ai/

Led the conceptualization, design, and delivery of the world's first corporate AI Psychologist, projecting $1 million in ARR. Successfully sold the company after that with an 80 times ROI.

Jubile utilized machine learning and natural language processing to automatically measure, analyze, and improve employee mental health. This pioneering marriage of technology and science empowered HR and company leadership to become proactive in improving employee retention and performance.

The MVP was built in-house but later partnered with some of the best accelerators worldwide, AWS and Startup WiseGuys, to validate the product. We were then able to deploy the solution and provide a comprehensive premium enterprise solution which helped organizations save millions of dollars from attrition costs. The incredible value of the proprietary solution attracted customers and investors, resulting in a successful exit by selling the IP.

Real Estate Super App

https://spaceos.io/

Led the design, development, and deployment of a predictive IoT analytics platform that skyrocketed the company's enterprise clientele to over ten enterprises and achieved a five-fold increase in MRR within 1.5 years of operation.

SpaceOS expanded its portfolio by acquiring data from IoT devices and using behavioral and attitudinal data to empower commercial real estate managers to make more educated business decisions based on data. We worked with industry-leading organizations, such as Allianz, Engels&Volkers, and Hitachi, to define the most crucial business insights they needed to best operate their commercial buildings. After the initial research, prototyping, and concept validation, we developed an in-house solution that leveraged a wide variety of reliable and consistent data, including eco-friendliness, occupancy, revenue, and tenant happiness.

The project was incredibly successful and helped spaceOS grow three times in personnel, five times in MRR, and raise over $3 million in funding.

Deep Tech Edutainment Content Live Streaming Platform

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XEGheZ5Og7Ct-Pk4PByinqc6ffyLmgGm_XUijZeaH98/edit?usp=sharing

Led the conceptualization, design, development, and delivery of Eventera's edutainment platform, acquiring more than 10,000 learners and generating $200 thousand in annual revenue.

Eventera's vision was to make educational events fun by live-streaming them directly from the crowd's mobile devices. A learner would get a unique view of the events unfolding in real-time; it was akin to a Netflix-like experience where learners swipe right and left to change the channels, which would switch the viewports and allow them to experience the event differently from attendees' perspectives.

While the company started doing well by acquiring thousands of learners and broke even financially, the project was postponed until post-COVID since the idea was for people who attended events physically to transmit their experience to digital learners, which was impossible during COVID-19.

Independent Telehealth Platform

https://www.askmindi.com/

Led the design and development of telehealth's website and web apps and helped the company acquire 5,000 users and raise $800,000.

Askmindi is a Texas-based independent telehealth provider and premium supplements vendor whose mission is to provide trustworthy, elite healthcare to all Americans. I helped the client hire their tech team and develop their website and apps—one for patients and one for health providers—from scratch. Additionally, I led the product definition, strategy, marketing, and user research, including usability tests, surveys, and customer interviews. As a technical product manager leading a team of 5-10, I followed Agile and Scrumban frameworks.
