Projects

Four things I designed and built end to end. Each one started as a problem I actually had, and a few turned into pitches.

AI classroom and learning ecosystem

  • OpenAI API
  • React
  • Node.js
  • Supabase
  • Built student and teacher dashboards with automated grading and a real-time discussion layer.
  • Designed a proprietary "Contextual Intelligence" engine on the OpenAI API for guardrailed AI tutoring that stays inside the bounds of each course.
  • Shipped an automated professor toolkit that turns uploaded course materials into grading rubrics.

Flixi

2024

Mobile movie ranking app

  • Flutter
  • Firebase
  • Built a cross-platform mobile app for tracking and ranking films from a single Flutter codebase.
  • Designed a head-to-head ranking flow that turns vague star ratings into an ordered, personal list.
  • Added social features so friends can compare taste and see what each other is watching.

Knock

2024

Social hangout platform with real-time audio and video

  • WebRTC
  • Node.js
  • React
  • Socket.IO
  • Built drop-in audio and video rooms over WebRTC with a Socket.IO signalling layer for low-latency connections.
  • Designed lightweight coordination features — presence, rooms, and invites — so hanging out online takes one tap, not a scheduled call.
  • Architected the front end in React with a Node.js backend handling rooms, presence, and session state.

Nestd

2023

Rental platform for the Greater Toronto Area

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
  • Mapbox
  • Built a rental search platform focused specifically on the GTA, where listings are scattered and competition is brutal.
  • Designed map-first search with filters that match how people actually look for a place — commute, neighbourhood, and budget.
  • Modelled listings, neighbourhoods, and saved searches in PostgreSQL with a Next.js + TypeScript front end.
