Spent two years building and shipping AI products from 0 → 1, working across product, design, engineering, infrastructure, distribution, and user feedback. Built products including: SmartChat — AI Chatbot Platform - Built a platform that lets users create AI chatbots using the LLM of their choice. - Received an acquisition offer for the product. - Selected for Amazon, Notion, and MongoDB startup programs. - Built the product across the full stack — from product architecture and AI integrations to deployment and iteration. Dragon OS — AI-Native Computing Experiment - Explored what an operating system designed around AI agents could look like. - Built an AI agent on Linux capable of interacting with a computer through natural-language prompts. - Experimented with agentic computer interaction, automation, and human-computer interfaces. JobOS — AI Career Platform - Built a product that lets users provide a job description and use AI to optimize their resume and job application materials for that role. CareerXpo — Career Guidance Platform -Built a platform focused on helping students navigate career decisions and opportunities. Bro — Student Productivity App - Built a productivity product designed around the workflows and needs of students. Yapwise.xyz — Voice → Mind Map - Built and launched an iOS app that converts spoken thoughts into structured visual mind maps using AI. Still live. Across these products, I worked hands-on across AI/LLM integrations, full-stack engineering, mobile development, product design, prototyping, cloud infrastructure, and 0→1 product development. The common thread: I like taking ambiguous problems, turning them into products, and shipping them.
