Things I've Built
The Challenge
When I joined as the founding engineer, CerebroNovus was a concept with a business plan but no existing code or technical infrastructure. The challenge was to translate this vision into a functional, live platform from a completely blank slate.
My Solution
As the founding engineer, I am architecting and building the core platform from the ground up using Next.js and Firebase. My work involves creating the essential backend services to manage client data and chatbot logic, implementing the secure connection to the WhatsApp API, and developing the primary web application for operations. The result is a functional platform ready to serve the first group of clients.
Tech Used
My Key Responsibilities
- Developing the primary web application for platform management and operations.
- Implementing the backend services and API endpoints that power the chatbot logic.
- Integrating the platform with the official WhatsApp Business API.
- Designing and implementing the database schema in Firestore.
Information Management System
The Challenge
The training centre was running on paper and spreadsheets, which was slow and led to errors. They needed a central system to manage their students, attendance, and assets.
My Solution
As the sole developer, I designed and built a complete Information Management System. The backend is a robust Laravel API and the frontend is a responsive React application. The system is used daily by staff to streamline their core operations.
Tech Used
My Key Responsibilities
- Built the entire system from concept to deployment, managing both frontend and backend development.
- Created modules for student enrollment, digital attendance registers, and asset management.
- Developed the public-facing website and a simple CMS for staff to update content.
SymbioLearn
The Challenge
I initially launched SymbioLearn as a tool for students to upload documents and get summaries, quizzes, and flashcards. Shortly after, I saw competitors like MindGrasp dominate that space with more resources. Instead of giving up, I analyzed the market and saw a deeper problem: students weren't just passively consuming info, they were struggling with active learning and tracking their progress.
My Solution
This led to a complete strategic pivot. I redesigned the entire product around an integrated, active learning system focused on interactive document mapping, AI-powered Socratic questioning, and adaptive quiz generation with real-time progress tracking.
Tech Used
My Key Responsibilities
- Complete product redesign and strategic pivot based on market analysis
- Development of interactive document breakdown and mind mapping system
- Implementation of AI tutor using Socratic questioning methodology
- Creation of adaptive quiz system with multiple question types and progress tracking
The Pivot
The new system converts PDFs into interactive mind maps that students can explore topic by topic. An AI tutor guides learning through targeted questions and analogies, while adaptive quizzes test understanding with instant feedback. Currently in development - coming soon.
