Another milestone completed. š
Over the past weeks, I successfully completed two projects for an early-stage international remittance platform.
ā
International Remittance Corridor Testing & Validation
ā
Backend Data Migration & Quality Verification
What started as data collection evolved into ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and quality across multiple international remittance corridors.
Key areas:
-Market Research
-Data Validation
-Quality Assurance
-Process Improvement
Reliable data is not created by copying information into spreadsheets. It comes from verification, critical thinking, attention to detail, and asking the right questions.
Grateful for the opportunity, the trust, and the positive feedback received along the way. Looking forward to the next challenges and collaborations.

Congratulations on completing both projects! š
The point you made about reliable data coming from verification and critical thinking ā not just copying into spreadsheets ā is something more clients need to understand before they hire.
The remittance corridor testing sounds like...

Career Compass AI
An AI-powered career navigation platform for students and job seekers in emerging economies.
1. Project Link
2. Short Description
Career Compass AI is an AI-powered career coaching platform designed to help students and early-career professionals navigate their career journey with confidence.
Many learners struggle to understand which skills are valuable, which careers match their strengths, and what steps they should take to become job-ready. Existing solutions often separate learning, career guidance, and job discovery into different platforms.
Career Compass AI brings these experiences together into a single guided journey.
The platform analyzes a user's current skills, recommends suitable career paths, identifies skill gaps, generates personalized learning roadmaps, and tracks career readiness over time.
The core experience follows a simple framework:
Current Skills ā Career Goal ā Skill Gap Analysis ā Learning Roadmap ā Job Readiness
The product combines AI coaching, progress tracking, gamification, and data visualization to transform career development into a clear and motivating experience.

5. How I Used Stitch
Stitch was used as the primary interface generation tool for rapidly designing and iterating on product screens.
The workflow included:
Defining the product concept and user journey.
Creating a design system and brand direction.
Using Stitch to generate initial dashboard and workflow screens.
Refining layouts through iterative prompting.
Improving alignment, spacing, visual hierarchy, and branding consistency.
Establishing a consistent component library including cards, navigation patterns, progress indicators, and AI coaching elements.
Using Stitch to expand the design language across multiple screens while maintaining a unified visual identity.
The platform significantly accelerated exploration and iteration, allowing rapid testing of different layouts and user experiences before moving into detailed refinement.
Advanced Workflow
To improve consistency and quality, I used Stitch's design import capability rather than starting from a blank prompt.
The imported Figma file served as the source of truth for:
Branding
Design tokens
Component styling
Typography
Layout patterns
This enabled a scalable workflow where AI-generated screens inherited the established design language instead of creating entirely new visual directions.
By combining manual design system creation with AI-assisted generation, I was able to move from a single dashboard concept to a cohesive multi-screen product experience much faster than a traditional workflow.
6. Design Decisions
The product was intentionally designed as a "career navigation system" rather than a traditional job board.
Key design principles included:
Clarity over complexity
Progress-focused interactions
Visual motivation through gamification
Strong information hierarchy
Career journey storytelling
The visual language emphasizes growth, momentum, and achievement through roadmaps, progress indicators, readiness scores, and milestone-based experiences.
The brand combines the motivational qualities of learning platforms with the clarity and polish of modern SaaS products.
7. Feedback on Stitch
What Worked Well
Fast screen generation
Rapid concept exploration
Helpful for dashboard layouts
Effective starting point for complex interfaces
Accelerated product thinking and iteration
Challenges
Design consistency sometimes varied across generated screens
Alignment and spacing occasionally required manual refinement
Branding needed explicit design system guidance
Visual hierarchy improved significantly when detailed design prompts were provided
Suggestions
Stronger support for reusable design systems
Improved consistency across generated screens
Better preservation of established branding across iterations
Enhanced component-level control

Submission Summary
Project: Career Compass AI
Category: AI + Education + Career Development
Problem Solved:
Helping students and job seekers understand where they are, where they want to go, and how to get there.
Core Value Proposition:
"Tell us your skills today, and we'll show you the fastest path to your future career."
Love the idea of treating career growth like navigation rather than job searching. The "Current Skills ā Career Goal ā Skill Gap ā Roadmap ā Readiness" journey makes the experience feel much more actionable for students and early-career professionals. Great use of Stitch to turn a complex problem into a clear visual workflow. š
Have been grinding for this for so many months, and now finally reached it! š
This just motivates me even more to move forward.
Thank you Contra for the amazing opportunities that you have laid out for us.
Congratulations man! keep going
