After working with founders across AI, SaaS, and automation projects, I realized one thing:
Most great ideas don't fail because of the technology, they fail because turning them into a real product is incredibly complex.
That's the problem I enjoy solving.
From AI product strategy and system architecture to MVPs, agentic AI, workflow automation, and production-ready web and mobile applications, I help founders transform ambitious ideas into products that people actually use.
I finally recorded a short introduction to share a little about who I am, what I build, and how I work with startups.
If you're building an AI product, launching an MVP, or looking to automate your business with AI, I'd love to connect.
Looking forward to collaborating with more founders and teams here on Contra.

My submission for the Wonder Challenge on Contra.
We've all had that moment—seeing a successful product and thinking,
"I had that idea years ago."
That question inspired Drafty.
The problem usually isn't a lack of ideas. It's that ideas get buried in notes, screenshots, voice memos, and unfinished drafts until they're forgotten.
The irony is that Drafty itself was one of my own forgotten ideas.
Using Wonder, I explored the concept, iterated through multiple product directions, refined the user experience, and transformed that idea into a complete product experience, including the branding, marketing website, and mobile app.
Wonder wasn't just where Drafty started. It became an essential part of how the product evolved. From brainstorming concepts to refining layouts and improving the user experience, it helped me iterate until every part of the product told one consistent story.
Drafty helps creators move from inspiration to execution by guiding ideas through their complete lifecycle:
• Capture new ideas
• Rediscover forgotten ones
• Develop them in a dedicated workspace
• Discover hidden connections
• Turn them into actionable plans
This submission includes a complete brand identity, marketing website, mobile app experience, and a walkthrough showing both the product and how Wonder became part of my creative workflow.
Because every great product starts as someone's first draft.
Drafty gave one of mine a second chance.

Building with Wonder 🚀
I've had the idea for HirePilot sitting in my idea bank for quite some time. When I saw the Wonder Challenge, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to finally bring it to life.
With only 3–5 hours, learning a completely new tool while balancing my day job, I knew I wouldn't be able to build everything I had envisioned. My goal shifted from creating a perfect product to exploring how Wonder could fit into my design workflow.
Instead of treating Wonder as just another UI generation tool, I used it as a collaborative design partner—iterating on product ideas, refining layouts, experimenting with shaders for motion and depth, and exploring MCP to make the experience feel more connected. While I wasn't able to fully complete the interactive experience I had planned, it gave me a glimpse of what's possible when design and AI work together.
About HirePilot
HirePilot is an AI career co-pilot that helps candidates prepare for the exact interview they're about to take. By combining a resume, job description, target company, role, and experience level, it creates personalized interview preparation with resume optimization, company-specific mock interviews, actionable feedback, and career insights—all in one place.
This isn't the final version I imagined, but it's a meaningful first step. I'm looking forward to taking HirePilot further, making it fully interactive, and pushing Wonder even more in the next iteration.

Stop Building AI Demos. Build Store-Ready Products. 🚀
Most AI photo projects end up as simple wrappers or half-baked demos. I wanted to build something real, production-ready, and fully monetized.
🙌 Meet Atelier — a production grade AI Photo Studio built for the App Store and Google Play.
Packed with 13 heavy-duty AI tools—including AI Enhance, 4x Upscale, and precise Background Removal (as showcased in ai-photo-1.png) - Atelier processes images fast and securely.
⚡ Engineering the Experience:
- The Frontend: Built an ultra-smooth cross-platform UI with Flutter, featuring an interactive Before/After comparison slider (ai-photo-2.png).
- The Creative Engine: Integrated 6 distinct art styles and a custom style prompt engine for infinite generation flexibility (ai-photo-3.png).
- The Backbone: Engineered a secure Go backend that interfaces with AI image models, handles fast data delivery, and manages strict receipt-verified In-App Purchases (IAP).
No generic templates, no lagging interfaces—just a complete, commercially viable mobile ecosystem.
