Fitness & workout-tracking platform · 60K+ users

Mobile workout-tracking platform with social feed, progress analytics, and paid subscriptions. I built the entire backend solo.

  • Solo Node.js + TypeScript/Express backend: workout logging, custom programs, PR tracking, social feed, Stripe subscriptions, admin panel
  • Scaled to 60K+ users with zero downtime and stable latency
  • Composite index on user_workouts cut query time from ~4s to ~200ms
  • Redis caching for leaderboards; fixed N+1 in the social feed endpoint
  • Migrated heavy cron jobs to background services, eliminating overlap issues
  • CI/CD via GitHub Actions → AWS Elastic Beanstalk + RDS, fronted by Nginx + Redis
  • Node.js
  • TypeScript
  • Express
  • TypeORM
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Stripe
  • AWS

Student job marketplace · hundreds of paying users

Job-search platform connecting college students with paid work and upskilling. Owned the full stack: React frontend + Laravel API.

  • Shipped features and resolved critical production bugs with zero downtime
  • Tuned AWS Elastic Beanstalk + RDS deploys for faster, more reliable releases
  • Automated background jobs for payouts, reminders, and cleanup
  • Still active with hundreds of paying users and ongoing revenue
  • React
  • Laravel
  • MySQL
  • AWS

REQ Agent

AIFeatured

AI pipeline that turns discovery notes into spec + handoff docs

A CLI tool that reads raw client discovery material and generates client, designer, and dev-handoff documents through a two-stage Claude pipeline — productizing the Spec-Driven Development workflow I drive across my team.

  • Two sequential Claude calls: raw input → internal SDD + designer brief → final client/design/dev outputs
  • Validates generated docs for structure, feature coverage, and design-to-dev token consistency before writing
  • Encodes Spec-Driven Development as repeatable tooling, not just process
  • Node.js
  • JavaScript
  • Claude API
  • LLM agents

Building with AI

I don't just use LLMs — I build with them. My recent work turns AI into real tooling: a CLI that runs multi-stage Claude pipelines to generate spec and handoff docs (productizing the Spec-Driven Development I lead across my team), an LLM-driven gaming-PC build recommender, and Claude-powered agent automation.
