Experience
QuickLaunch
https://quicklaunch.in/I founded and built this product from the ground up, overseeing all aspects of development, planning, and marketing from start to finish. I used React, Vite, TypeScript, Supabase, Edge Functions, Cloud Function, CrewAI agents, Python, and Pydantic.
AI-powered Persona Generator for Enhanced Client Understanding
Built with React, TypeScript, Express, Prisma, and GCP, this solution offers several key benefits:
• Efficient client interaction: Gathers crucial information through dynamic, AI-driven questions.
• Improved talent matching: Creates data-driven personas for more effective talent allocation.
• Increased team efficiency: Automates key processes, freeing up time for higher-value tasks.
• Enhanced client satisfaction: Leads to better project outcomes and stronger client relationships.
Performance Transparency Dashboard
Leveraging my developer skills, I built the dashboard with an ETL pipeline for automated data updates, showcasing the potential for improved performance transparency. While the solution validated the concept, limitations like scalability and role-based access became evident. Demonstrating project ownership, I championed a full-stack web application for a long-term solution.
The final web application offers a robust solution, secure and scalable access to performance data, and role-based access control. This empowers teams and managers with personalized insights, fostering informed decision-making and improved organizational performance.
QA Workflow Optimization and Efficiency Enhancement
A key feature of the application is the integrated display of call recordings from platforms like BlueJeans and Zoom within a single screen. Additionally, the application provides detailed, call-specific scoring mechanisms, enabling comprehensive and standardized quality evaluations.
Developed with an ETL pipeline from BigQuery to PostgreSQL, the application interacts with the database to manage assignments and scoring data. Built using React, TypeScript, and Express, it's deployed on GCP using serverless technologies like Cloud Run and Cloud Build.
Impact:
• Automated call assignments for balanced workload distribution.
• Centralized call recordings for increased efficiency.
• Standardized scoring for objective quality evaluations.
• Improved QA process, leading to increased productivity.
