AI-Powered Applications
AI-Powered Continuous Health Alerting Platform
Challenge: Families managing a chronic health condition that requires continuous glucose monitoring need real-time alerts when readings cross dangerous thresholds — existing monitoring apps notify only the primary phone, with no redundancy if that alert is missed.
Outcome: Live in production as a 24/7 monitoring service with a native iOS companion app in TestFlight, doctor read-only access, multi-language support, and a multi-tenant subscription model.
Challenge: Independent authors and content creators want to produce structured, illustrated ebooks quickly, but the process of outlining, drafting, editing, and designing a cover normally requires multiple disconnected tools.
Outcome: Live product with a working blueprint-to-chapter generation pipeline, an in-app editor, AI cover generation, PDF export, and Creator/Pro subscription tiers.
Challenge: Small businesses and creators need to understand performance across multiple social platforms without manually cross-referencing each platform's native analytics dashboard.
Outcome: Live product with working OAuth sync across three social platforms, AI-generated performance insights, and full EN/ES/PT localization.
Challenge: A Miami-based e-commerce storefront selling pre-owned luxury goods was underperforming on Google due to poor Core Web Vitals, incomplete SEO metadata, and a third-party app embed silently degrading page performance.
Outcome: Raised Lighthouse SEO score from 92 to 100 and Accessibility to 100; raised Performance from the high 30s to 79+ across multiple remediation passes.
Challenge: Teams documenting workflows and bug reports needed a fast way to capture, annotate, and share screen captures without juggling separate recording, editing, and sharing tools — and the product needed to become a standalone, billable SaaS rather than a feature bundled under a parent brand.
Outcome: Live SaaS product with working Solo/Team subscription plans, entitlement-gated features, a refund flow, and Google sign-in.
Challenge: A live backlink-intelligence SaaS was suffering a silent, severe SEO regression — search engine crawlers, including Googlebot and PageSpeed Insights, were being blocked at the edge without any obvious application-level error.
Outcome: Restored crawler access (including Googlebot and PageSpeed Insights), resolving the SEO score regression at its root cause rather than its symptoms.
Challenge: Development teams need faster, more accessible security vulnerability scanning without the overhead of enterprise-only tooling, and the product needed strong SEO, performance, and accessibility to compete for organic traffic.
Outcome: Shipped a merged SEO/performance/accessibility overhaul, resolved a stale-deployment routing bug, and fixed a missing analytics collector route in production.
