AI presentation editor I designed and built from scratch. Core thesis: AI as collaborator, not generator.

• Built a 0-to-1 agentic presentation editor solo as designer and engineer, shipping a scalable design system of 98 components, 48 layout generators, and 35 style profiles plus a developer-facing API product.
• Shipped production React/TypeScript by prototyping directly in AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, Cursor), collapsing design and engineering into a single solo workflow.
• Designed an AI agent that lives on the canvas instead of a chat panel, earning user trust by admitting uncertainty rather than hallucinating and acting only with user approval, translating complex AI behavior into clear interfaces.
• Built evaluation frameworks that catch AI mistakes before users do, surfacing measurable signals on accuracy, manipulation safety, and output quality: 87% accuracy, 100% manipulation-safety, 9/10 output quality.

• Made friend activity visible through request-to-invite, request-to-join, and friend-visible RSVPs validated via user research, qualitative signals, and PostHog experimentation, lifting 7-day retention from 14% to 48% and driving users with 3+ connections to return 4x more.
• Launched a responsive booking product across mobile and web to meet users where they were already searching, iterating with target users and making data-driven decisions to lift paid bookings 40% and web-to-app installs 20%.
