Reverse-engineering, migration, and hardening of a legacy ERP platform that had to be rebuilt without original administrative access. The work included recovering Classic ASP application files, reconstructing the database structure from limited access, recreating IIS and mail configuration, securing the application against SQL injection, and building new Dev, QA, and Production environments. The final solution included backups every 30 minutes, a custom Linux load balancer, redundant Windows application servers, and a unified Linux file server to improve stability, recovery, and operational resilience.

Medicine Supply Chain Disruption Predictor
Built a production-ready ML system that predicts drug shortage risk using real FDA data. Collected and cleaned 1703 real drug shortage records, trained an XGBoost model, and deployed it as a live REST API — accessible to anyone worldwide.
The biggest challenge was identifying and removing 6 sources of data leakage that were causing fake 100% accuracy. After fixing this, the model delivers honest, generalisable predictions.
The entire system is containerised with Docker, automatically rebuilt and redeployed via a Jenkins CI/CD pipeline on every code push, and visualised through an interactive Power BI dashboard.
Result: A complete ML + DevOps project — from raw data to live deployed API — built independently in under 2 weeks.

SlateDesk, Film & TV Talent Submission Management Platform
Built a dual-role SaaS platform for the entertainment industry that replaces chaotic email chains and spreadsheets with a structured, auditable talent submission system for film and TV production.
Production executives at studios and production companies were managing hundreds of talent submissions manually PDF reels, cover letters, and talent bios arriving via email with no unified tracking. There was no visibility for agents or managers on the other side, and no scalable way to shortlist, schedule meetings, or export reports.
SlateDesk is a full-stack web application built on Django 5, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, and Material UI designed around two distinct user roles: Executives and Representatives. The platform features a 14-stage submission workflow with full timestamped status lifecycle, UUID-based public submission URLs with configurable caps so agents can submit without creating an account, an internal deal pipeline with weekend-read flags and shortlist tracking, meeting scheduling with rich-text emails, contact management with tag-based segmentation and bulk CSV import, and Stripe subscription tiers enforcing workspace limits at the application layer.
SlateDesk gave both sides of the entertainment industry a purpose-built workspace. Executives gained full visibility across all active projects with exportable filtered reports. Representatives could track every submission they made and see any notes executives chose to share publicly. The public link system enabled executives to onboard any agent or manager instantly without account friction.
