Key Projects

A selection of systems I've owned end-to-end — from architecture to production.

WordPress Theme
01

Estatein — Custom WordPress Theme

Timed technical assessment implementing a dark-themed real estate website as a custom WordPress theme. Covers core pages (Home, Properties, Property Details, About, Services, Contact, 404), a custom property post type, reusable PHP templates, and Docker-based local setup — built and documented within a strict 4-hour delivery window.

Demonstrates clean WordPress theme architecture, responsive UI implementation, reusable PHP template structure, and practical trade-off documentation. No required plugin dependencies for core theme functionality.

AI Application
02

AI Networking Concierge

Production-grade AI agent backend for event attendee matchmaking. Interprets natural language networking goals, performs hybrid semantic and keyword search, scores match compatibility with LLM reasoning, and generates personalized introduction messages in persistent multi-turn conversations.

Demonstrates AI agent orchestration, vector search, LLM tool-calling, crash-recoverable conversation state, structured observability, and production-minded backend architecture.

Data Pipeline
03

Customer Data Pipeline

Dockerized data pipeline that ingests paginated customer data from a Flask mock API into PostgreSQL through a FastAPI ingestion service using dlt. Includes API endpoints for ingestion, customer lookup, pagination, and idempotent upsert handling.

Demonstrates practical ETL design, service orchestration, pagination handling, idempotent database writes, and API-backed data validation.
