It also acts as the public knowledge layer within a broader ecosystem, supporting connected products for baby tracking and nutrition planning.
- Built and launched a full-stack AI knowledge platform using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and OpenAI;
- Implemented advanced SEO, AEO, and GEO optimization, including structured data, AI-readable feeds, sitemap routes, metadata strategy, and LLM-friendly endpoints;
- Designed a RAG-based question-answering system that retrieves relevant parenting content and generates source-aware responses;
- Grew the connected mobile app ecosystem to thousands of users;
- Built a social media presence with more than 20K followers;
- Created structured content systems for articles, FAQs, citations, baby food guidance, and topic pages;
- Developed product pages and ecosystem positioning for DearBaby and SolidStart;
- Integrated Supabase for content storage, analytics, waitlist management, feedback, and ingestion workflows.
Founding AI Engineer
An AI-native command center for managing autonomous agent workflows that transforms open-ended tasks into structured execution loops with planning, tool usage, verification, and reporting. The product provides visibility and control over agent behavior through trackable runs, decision inspection, and step-by-step execution transparency. It enables reliable task execution by combining structured workflows, governed tool usage, and verifiable outcomes instead of black-box responses.

- Created full-stack architecture for an AI agent workbench using Next.js, React, TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase;
- Built backend APIs for creating, managing, tracking, and reviewing autonomous agent runs;
- Implemented an agent execution loop covering planning, tool execution, verification, fallback handling, and final reporting;
- Designed a decision policy layer to classify task types, select next actions, define allowed tools, and enforce completion requirements;
- Built a tool registry supporting repository operations, file search, patching, testing, commits, pull requests, and notifications;
- Implemented structured agent state tracking with run metadata, execution events, token usage, failure records, and completion evidence;
- Added database migrations for agent runs, events, task metadata, user integrations, failures, and task preferences;
- Integrated Supabase authentication, JWT-based API access, and user-specific data storage;
- Implemented worker-based background execution for queued agent tasks;
- Added failure recovery logic with fallback strategies, retry behavior, and verification checks;
- Developed support for coding-agent workflows, including repository cloning, file reading, search, patching, testing, commits, pushes, and PR creation;
- Created risk-aware tool metadata for permission control, approval handling, retry policy, and governance;
- Built and documented API endpoints for tasks, journals, reflections, timelines, tags, smart-agent actions, and runs;
- Prepared deployment configuration for Render, Vercel, and Supabase-backed environments;
- Wrote technical documentation covering agent architecture, API behavior, execution flow, testing, deployment, and implementation details;
- Debugged and resolved web compatibility issues, including Supabase storage behavior, OAuth redirects, and Expo web support;
- Established a scalable foundation for multi-agent collaboration, tool expansion, and external integrations.
Founding AI Engineer
An AI-powered journaling and productivity platform designed for startup founders to capture daily thoughts, track milestones, manage tasks, and reflect on progress. The product consolidates fragmented information—ideas, decisions, tasks, and lessons—into a structured workspace with timelines, tagging, and AI-assisted insights. It supports founders in turning raw experiences into organized knowledge and actionable next steps through reflection analysis, task planning, and guided workflows.

- Created Expo-based mobile and web compatibility support, including platform-specific authentication redirects and storage handling;
- Built a Next.js web frontend foundation using React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and reusable API utilities;
- Prepared deployment configuration for Render, Vercel, and Supabase-backed environments;
- Wrote technical documentation covering API design, implementation, project structure, deployment, testing, and architecture;
- Debugged and resolved application issues related to authentication, database consistency, task metadata, and cross-platform behavior;
- Established a scalable foundation for features such as story sharing, community interaction, analytics, and AI-driven insights.
Founding AI Engineer
A public healthcare directory that helps patients find walk-in clinics, family doctors, and clinics accepting new patients through a searchable interface, map-based discovery, and structured clinic profiles. The product consolidates fragmented healthcare information into a normalized, continuously updated dataset, enabling users to compare clinics and make faster, more informed decisions. It also includes a data management layer with agent-assisted workflows for ingesting clinic data, detecting status changes, and maintaining verified, high-quality records over time.
- Built a searchable Alberta clinic directory with list and map views;
- Added city pages for high-intent searches such as Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer;
- Integrated Supabase/PostGIS for clinic storage and location-aware data;
