AI-driven products, security layers, and experimental systems built to solve real problems.

01 · Featured

Enterprise AI security layer that detects, sanitizes, and protects sensitive information before it reaches external AI systems.

Problem: Enterprises fear leaking sensitive PII/PHI data to public LLMs, hindering AI adoption.
Solution: A proxy layer that automatically identifies and masks sensitive data using high-performance regex and LLM-based detection.
Architecture: Edge-based sanitization pipeline with real-time logging and audit trails.
Challenges: Maintaining sub-100ms latency while performing deep content inspection.
Lessons: Security at scale requires a balance between strictness and developer experience.

Conversational AI financial advisor providing personalized guidance and insights.

Problem: Personal finance is complex; existing tools are either too simple or too overwhelming.
Solution: A conversational interface that simplifies financial data and delivers actionable growth insights.
Architecture: Vector database with RAG to provide context-aware financial advice.
Challenges: Ensuring numerical accuracy in financial calculations and advice.
Lessons: Clear data visualization is key to making financial guidance accessible.

A modern commerce experience for pure, honest products — built around clean storytelling, fast browsing, and a frictionless checkout flow.

Problem: Small purity-first brands get lost in cluttered marketplaces where product story and trust signals disappear.
Solution: A focused storefront that leads with the product narrative, then moves visitors into a short, distraction-free purchase path.
Architecture: Component-driven React front end with typed product data, responsive layouts, and image-optimised delivery on Vercel.
Challenges: Balancing an editorial, image-heavy presentation against fast load times on mobile networks.
Lessons: Trust in commerce is designed, not declared — pacing, typography, and clarity do more than badges.
