Technical Builds.
Sales Outcomes.

Portfolio builds framed around business impact, workflow thinking, and practical technical fluency.

This page organizes my portfolio builds into 3 flagship builds and 4 supporting tools, all developed alongside quota-carrying sales work.

Each project is framed around business impact, workflow thinking, and practical technical fluency, rather than being presented as isolated coding exercises.

The projects function as proof-of-work for product conversations, technical buyer credibility, AI-assisted workflows, and the ability to connect product complexity back to sales outcomes.

What this page proves:

I build practical tools to understand product workflows, technical systems, AI-assisted execution, and the business context behind modern sales conversations.

MetraNode

Sales ToolNo-Code BuilderWidget Platform

No-code widget builder with live preview and branded HTML embed export.

ReactTypeScriptVite

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Proves I can build for the same non-technical audience I sell to — with firsthand understanding of embed workflows, API integrations, and brand-consistency UX.

MetraNode

The Problem

Notion users want custom widgets and brand-aligned embeds but face code, hosting, and setup barriers that block non-technical operators entirely.

Build Approach

Designed a visual configuration-first experience — users adjust settings, see a live preview, and generate usable HTML embed output without touching code. The goal was confidence, not just functionality.

What It Demonstrates

Product thinking and empathy for non-technical buyers
Frontend state management with real-time preview UX
No-code workflow design and time-to-value optimization

STR Command Center

CRM / OpsDashboardWorkflow Automation

Single-source operational CRM replacing four tools for day-to-day STR management.

Next.jsTypeScriptReact

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Demonstrates pipeline thinking and CRM design from the inside — I know how operators track reservations, tasks, and workflows in active operational use.

Live Demo

STR Command Center

The Problem

Short-term rental operations scatter across notes, spreadsheets, booking platforms, and memory — creating reactive management instead of operational clarity.

Build Approach

Treated the rental like a small business CRM — organizing the dashboard around the real operating lifecycle: reservations, guest readiness, turnovers, maintenance, and performance visibility.

What It Demonstrates

CRM thinking and operational workflow design
Dashboard architecture for actionable pipeline data
Scope discipline — single-property focus over enterprise complexity

FL Studio Master Hub

The Problem

Producers waste time searching scattered tutorials and plugin docs instead of identifying the right tool for their current workflow need.

Build Approach

Structured the entire experience around a single question: 'What is the producer trying to accomplish?' — enabling exploration by use-case and intent, not just plugin name.

What It Demonstrates

Information architecture for complex product catalogs
User-journey thinking and knowledge base UX
Frontend execution for technical education platforms

Supporting Tools

Additional builds — tools, automations, and platforms categorized separately.

Automation Tool

MPK Command Center

Hardware IntegrationCreative / Music

Browser-based MIDI integration that maps real-time hardware controls to FL Studio.

JavaScript (ES6+)WebMIDI APIGSAP 3

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Proves hardware integration, API literacy, and real-time systems thinking — credible in technical discovery for automation and IoT-adjacent sales.

Case Study

MPK Command Center

The Problem

MIDI controllers feel broken after purchase — pads, routing, and CC mapping issues are actually configuration problems, but users lack a guided path to the fix.

Build Approach

Treated MIDI setup friction as a customer success problem — organizing issues by symptom and cause, with real-time WebMIDI API visualization of hardware signal flow.

What It Demonstrates

Hardware API integration and real-time systems thinking
Symptom-based technical documentation design
Zero-framework architecture with clear troubleshooting UX

Content Production

Studio Writing Hub

AI / WorkflowContent Ops

7-stage AI-assisted pipeline from raw idea to published content — fully structured.

Next.js (App Router)TypeScriptMarkdown

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Demonstrates AI workflow discipline and structured content operations — credible when selling content management, AI tools, and workflow automation.

Case Study

Studio Writing Hub

The Problem

Content production lives in disconnected places — ideas, drafts, and revisions scatter across tools with no structured pipeline from raw concept to published output.

Build Approach

Built a 7-stage semantic pipeline (Ideas → Drafts → Arrangement → Revision → Packaging → Review → Release) with automated validation and a structured knowledge base for brand voice consistency.

What It Demonstrates

AI workflow discipline and structured content operations
Pipeline architecture from concept to publication
Research and documentation system design

Personal Brand Platform

JaZeR Website

Personal BrandJAMstackHeadless CMS

JAMstack personal brand site with headless CMS, SSR, and type-safe content models.

Next.js (App Router)TypeScriptContentful CMS

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Shows digital fluency, modern web architecture familiarity (headless CMS, SSR), and deployment practice — credible when selling CMS platforms, Vercel-adjacent tooling, or JAMstack infrastructure.

Case Study

JaZeR Website

The Problem

Artist websites often look creative but perform poorly — slow mobile loads, cluttered navigation, and oversized assets undermine the brand experience they were meant to create.

Build Approach

Built as both a creative brand asset and a functional web property — prioritizing Contentful-backed content management, SSR performance, and type-safe CMS models alongside visual identity.

What It Demonstrates

Frontend performance judgment and modern web architecture
Headless CMS integration with type-safe content models
JAMstack and server-side rendering implementation

Specialty launch planning tool for businesses and music artists — automated GTM research ops.

Next.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSS

In active use — metrics pending

Sales Relevance

Shows GTM thinking and automated research ops — credible in discussions about go-to-market tooling, RevOps automation, and sales workflow optimization.

Case Study

Artist Launch Planner

The Problem

Multi-vertical launch research becomes unmanageable without an organized system — research assets scatter across formats and folders with no automatic categorization.

Build Approach

Built a Python automation pipeline that sorts research assets across 10 strategic verticals automatically, using the same modular framework as account planning and GTM strategy.

What It Demonstrates

GTM thinking and automated research operations
Data pipeline design and file processing automation
Structured analysis across multi-vertical frameworks
