just shipped the core of Skillship — an AI-powered LMS built for schools.
One platform, many schools, and one rule that shaped every decision: School A must never see School B's data. Tenant-scoped models, filtered querysets at the base class, UUIDs everywhere.
Four AI features live:
— Career Pilot: personalised career paths for students
— Question generator: chapter PDF in, board-aligned MCQs out
— Adaptive quizzes: difficulty follows actual performance
— Semantic search: teachers ask in plain English, pgvector finds the material
Django + DRF for the LMS core, a separate FastAPI service for all AI work (Gemini + a pgvector RAG pipeline), Next.js 14 on the front. Django brokers every AI call — the AI layer never touches the browser.
The hard part wasn't the AI. It was making multi-tenancy boring enough that no future dev can leak a school's data by accident.
Open for new work — full-stack builds, AI integrations, RAG pipelines, multi-tenant SaaS. Send me a project.
The tenant boundary is where I'd put the first failure test. I'd try to make a user from one school retrieve another school's record before I trusted any of the AI features.
Private Equity Buyer Research for Technology & Software Acquisitions
For this project, I researched and qualified private equity buyers focused on acquiring technology and software businesses.
The challenge was to identify relevant acquisition buyers, not simply collect a large list of PE firms.
The research focused on firms with:
• $5M–$50M target deal value
• $2M–$20M target company revenue
• Technology / Software acquisition focus
• Relevant geographic focus
• Active acquisition criteria
For each qualified buyer, I researched:
• PE firm & website
• Acquisition criteria
• Deal / revenue focus
• Relevant Partner / Principal / Managing Director
• Job title
• Verified business email
• LinkedIn profile
• Previous acquisitions / portfolio companies
• Source & verification details
The final database was structured for direct acquisition outreach and deal sourcing.
My focus is always on relevance, accuracy and actionable decision-maker data, rather than generic databases.
