Data Platform8

Memory-Optimized Query Engine
An in-memory serving layer in front of BigQuery that gives dashboards sub-second latency while sharply cutting BigQuery slot cost — Looker Studio reads from it instead of hitting BigQuery directly.

Data & AI Platform
A multi-tenant Big Data & AI platform (serving thousands of companies) that ingests, transforms, and serves data through analytics, Insights, and Smart Apps. I led its SQL-first engine migration — ~70% lower platform cost, 16× faster.

TOTVS Clock In
A 0→1, offline-first face-recognition time clock I took from concept to production in under four months — now serving hundreds of thousands of workers daily, protected by a granted U.S. patent.

Data Connect (JDBC)
A Change Data Capture (CDC) tool that ingests data from virtually any source — JDBC databases, MongoDB, and files — into the Data & AI Platform, online or in batch.

Batch Ingestion by SQL
A batch pipeline that loads ERP data from a Google Cloud Storage folder into the Carol data platform — auto-discovering what to load and generating the BigQuery SQL from a single tenant id.

Billing
A scalable billing system that computes cost across cloud providers and splits it among tenants via custom rules — plus automated actions that actively reduce cloud spend.

Data Sync (Reverse ETL)
Reverse ETL that lets SQL pipelines sync data into transactional databases — for applications that need a transactional store for scalability, performance, or transactions.

Cost Reduction
A cross-cutting program to cut data-platform cost across storage, ingestion, and processing — driven by architecture reviews and impact-vs-effort prioritization, reducing spend by millions without compromising performance.
Personal Initiatives12

mySaldoa
My take on Microsoft Money, rebuilt for today: personal finance with honest multi-currency net worth from exchange rates synced daily, a modern interface, and AI that sets up accounts from plain words and reads bills from email.

Sheet Music Studio
Built to help my 12-year-old find sheet music he couldn't get anywhere: upload a recording, pick one of 22 instruments, and an AI pipeline writes the score at three difficulty levels — with synced playback and PDF / MusicXML / MIDI export.

Upwise (Family Growth)
A family app that turns everyday responsibilities into measurable independence — chores, allowance, habits and reflection, with an AI coach for parents and kids.

HomeSturdy
A home-maintenance app that turns everything a house needs into an auto-generated, remind-me-only-when-due plan — live on iOS and web, backed by an Express/Postgres API on Cloud Run.

Smart Keyboard
A text optimizer that helps you catch spelling errors and redundancies before sending important messages — not a keyboard replacement, but a focused tool for clearer communication.

Portfolio System
This site — a Next.js app on Firebase with a CMS-style admin, image uploads, and a Claude-powered writing assistant. A living portfolio I fully own and edit in place.

Parse SQL
A paste-and-go web app: drop in SQL and instantly get a pretty-printed version, an interactive AST view, and a checklist of query-optimization warnings across a dozen dialects.

Warranty Tracker (mobile)
Built an app that organizes receipts and warranties in one place, using AI to make it easy to track what you own and when coverage expires.

AI Agile Assistant for Jira
A Jira Cloud app that makes daily standups faster and sharper — an AI assistant that times the meeting, surfaces what changed since yesterday, and flags risks and blockers, reporting up to a 40% cut in daily meeting time.

Alexa Batman
An Amazon Alexa skill that answers any question using generative AI, with kid-safe guardrails on every response.

Voice to Text for WhatsApp
A WhatsApp bot that transcribes voice messages on demand — forward an audio to a specific number, get back a readable transcript instantly. Built solo, in my own time, with multi-language support so it works across different audiences.

TrelloDash
A Trello analytics tool that turns boards into actionable metrics — idea to MVP in five months, grown to 500+ users, with a companion Alexa skill.
