Projects

LinktankTechBrig, 2026
Events, jobs, and experts from think tanks, gathered in one place. An LLM pipeline on BullMQ tracks over 120 organizations daily, controlled from a Next.js admin app. Search runs on Typesense, email on Plunk with AWS SES, and the scraper deploys to a single VPS through CI/CD.
RisenhawkTechBrig, 2026
A guided self-discovery tool with a quiz, a language switcher, and an admin panel for editing the questions. Built in TanStack Start, using Stripe for payments and Supabase for PostgreSQL and auth.
Look Up2024
An interactive short film where the viewer decides what happens next. Buttons laid over the video steer the story, and each clip loads and plays in a clean custom interface instead of a standard video player. Made in collaboration with the film's creator, who did the animation and design.
