→ Self-chaining Deno edge functions bypass Supabase worker limits
→ Per-card state machine with live pipeline UX (searching → analyzing → loaded)

CO-FOUNDER · POKE AI
An iOS Pokemon TCG companion, cofounded with Anam, shipped to the App Store in May 2026 and wound down later that year · Claude-vision scanning, price intelligence, deck building, and a provably-fair pack engine that ships real cards. I owned the iOS half: the SwiftUI app, the design system and the payment rails.
→ Atomic SELECT … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED inventory · zero overselling under concurrent pack rips
→ Commit-reveal provable fairness · published pool hash, revealed seed, recomputable offline
→ Split payment rails · StoreKit 2 for digital, Stripe Apple Pay for physical (Apple 3.1.1)

SOLO BUILD · AETHEREUM
A shared brain for AI coding agents, live at aethereum.dev. Agents silently share contracts, intent, collision alerts, and messages across machines · so one writes the correct code before the other dev has even committed.
→ Four primitives over MCP + SSE · share_intent, declare_contract, get_team_context, send_message
→ A2A interop + serverless skills marketplace · dependency-aware collision alerts, exactly-once
→ Published on npm and installed by people who are not me · RLS verified against real Postgres, not a mock

TECHNICAL LEAD · JJ MARINE · Dubai, UAE
ongoing role · real customers · commercial responsibility
My core professional role: I own the entire digital presence of JJ Marine, a Dubai yacht and boat dealership, reporting to the founders. Took it from a brochure site to a searchable catalogue in four languages, plus the back-office tooling around it.
→ Rebuilt the site on a searchable 46-boat inventory backend across four locales, RTL Arabic included
→ Replaced spreadsheet-based back-office tools with custom operations dashboards the team runs unaided
→ Built by coordinated AI agents against a shared contract protocol · the public site itself ships no LLM, and what runs internally stays internal
→ Owned creative and targeting across paid channels alongside the build

TECHNICAL OFFICER, PROJECTS · STARTUP LINK · University of Melbourne
ongoing role · committee, alongside the final year
Startup Link is the university's student-run startup programme: founders bring a problem, the programme pairs them with student teams. I own the technical side of projects · working out what an early-stage founder actually needs, cutting it to what a student team can deliver inside one semester, and building it myself when the team is one person.
→ Current engagement: a UX and UI review of a healthcare marketplace startup across every surface it runs on, then a full redesign of each on one design system
→ Internal tools and CRM screens get reviewed and redesigned alongside the public product · the systems are the client's, the redesign is mine
→ The client is not named on this site until they agree to be

SOLO BUILD · UNISPACE
Campus occupancy for University of Melbourne students across 18 Parkville buildings · crowd reporting, spot picks and 24-hour forecasting, with every reading labelled by how it was obtained. Occupancy on the public deploy is modelled from committed curves, not measured. Privacy-first: no coordinate ever goes into a request.
details
→ Client-side geofencing via Turf.js · server never sees coordinates
→ Multi-source data fallback chain solves the cold start problem
→ 18 buildings, crowd reporting, favorites, push notifications

SOLO BUILD · RIPPLE
Civic infrastructure reporting · snap a pothole or broken light, pick a category, and it lands geolocated on a shared community map that neighbours upvote. No accounts, no personal data. In build; automatic classification is the next sprint.
details
→ Council attribution resolved on the device via Turf.js point-in-polygon over cached boundaries
→ Community upvoting creates consensus signal for council prioritization
→ Offline-first with IndexedDB report queuing and auto-sync

FRONTEND LEAD · VOUCHR · University of Melbourne
Led frontend for a group buying marketplace (COMP30022, University of Melbourne) · owned the entire client-facing surface in a team of five, from empty scaffold to backend integration and client handover.
details
→ Three.js 3D landing animation and real-time WebSocket notifications
→ Dual buyer/seller dashboard system with analytics and voucher flows
→ Built a component library rather than pages, so the design system stayed one source of truth from Figma to code
