PROJECTS
Kueon | Competitor Intelligence Platform
- Built a SaaS platform for monitoring competitor pricing pages, changelogs, and keyword mentions across Reddit and Hacker News.
- Designed shared monitoring so the same pricing/changelog page is scraped and analyzed once, and keywords tracked across multiple products require a single Reddit API request, reducing duplicate scraping, extraction, LLM processing, API usage, and cost.
- Built alerting that groups events since the previous notification, avoiding duplicate alerts for the same conversation mention or pricing/changelog update, and built the backend, frontend, data model, and monitoring workflows.
Ch8r | AI-Powered Customer Support Platform
- Designed and developed an AI-powered customer support platform with an embeddable widget and API using Django, Vue.js, MySQL, Qdrant, Cloudflare, and Gemini.
- Implemented RAG and tool calling for context-aware customer support.
