Missions

Selected work

A few things I've designed, shipped, and operated.

MISSION 01AI / Data

PolarisAI

A real-time data-interaction platform that lets organizations query and explore their data in plain language. I built the query layer that maps natural language to database queries and contextual (RAG) retrieval across multiple sources, plus data pipelines for structured and unstructured data — with security and tenant isolation throughout.

  • RAG
  • Vector DBs
  • Python
  • Docker
  • AWS EC2
  • KMS
MISSION 02AI / Product

JobQuote

An AI quotation generator for tradespeople and small businesses. Users describe a job in plain, messy language, such as a WhatsApp-style message or rough notes, and get a professional PDF quotation back.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
  • Prisma
  • OpenAI
  • Auth.js
MISSION 03Fintech

Zunde

A community-savings (Mukando) fintech app that digitizes traditional group-savings circles. I led the team, owning the technical direction and build. Zunde won first place in Fintech at POTRAZ Ideathon 2025.
