Solved the friction in restaurant ordering — customers scan a table QR code and order directly, no app, no waiting on staff. Cut order turnaround time, reduced staff workload during peak hours, and gave restaurant owners a self-serve way to manage their menu, orders, and customers without technical help. Built and validated as a live, working product handling real concurrent order volume with zero errors under load.

A booking and practice-management platform for scheduling therapy/counseling appointments — calendar management, client intake, availability sync, and automated reminders. Focused on reducing no-shows and administrative overhead for practitioners.

An automated pipeline for sending and managing bulk email workflows — fully coded, no third-party workflow builder.
