Founders were drowning in signal — Reddit threads, competitor changes, support tickets — and reading none of it. So the product doesn't aggregate feeds; it scores opportunities and ranks them, which meant owning the scraping pipeline and the judgment encoded in the score.
A scouting tool nobody used, because the filters that made it valuable took ~22 seconds to return. The fix wasn't more caching — it was rebuilding how the query hit the data. Scouts got an interactive tool instead of a form they had to walk away from.
AI writing tools produce drafts; publishing needs a pipeline. Plan, generate, review and ship live in one workspace with a live-sync MDX editor, because the review step is where AI content either becomes publishable or gets thrown away.
Platform features end to end plus technical direction, working directly with management on ETL, schema and BI semantics.
Led four developers and took a large Angular app roughly 30% faster without stopping feature delivery.
Owned frontend delivery on a production Angular platform with real users and real deadlines.
30+ SaaS products, platforms and internal tools taken from concept to production for founders and teams.
