The journey started with pen and paper. I used the same kind of notebook that I use to keep a diary. I had only heard of REST APIs. A little. Like what they were... And slowly, over the next 6 months, I picked up the structural understanding and shipped a consumer intelligence platform.
I am now building an MCP wrapper for Signalwatch. The right internship even pays $20 - $30 per hour. Previously, the highest I earned per hour was $2.2.
It was not earning more dollars that got me on this path. It was a clique that probably played a prank and told me that a person from wher I come from should not handle queries from certain big clients. long story..., and a positive outcome.
It is a lifetime journey now.
Signalwatch is a consumer intelligence tool connected to native platforms' APIs. It crawls and synthesises brand mentions based on Boolean queries you run, and then tells businesses what to do next. It has two agents working alongside... ( See Signalwatch in action:

Deepest thanks to all the incredible clients and agencies that I've worked with.
I count myself very lucky to have a job working with such a varied client base, from solving deep UX problems and building systems, to pushing creative boundaries and everything in between. It's a wild ride.
I’m immensely grateful to the brilliant teams and individuals I’ve worked with over the years. Thank you.
To everyone else who has liked, followed, recommended, or reposted along the way, you're awesome. 🔥

This landing page was designed with one goal: clarity over complexity.
Every section has a purpose:
- Clear visual hierarchy
- Generous whitespace
- Clean, modern UI
- Scalable components
Good design isn't about adding more,it's about removing what doesn't help users.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
What part of a landing page has the biggest impact on conversions?
If you'd like, I can also make it more viral, designer-focused, or client-attracting.

PARALLAX — from sketch to final identity 🌀
Swipe through the design process behind this exhibition branding project — from raw, hand-drawn wave paths in Illustrator to the final kinetic typography system.
This is a brand identity for a contemporary art exhibition. Every letter in the logo design for "PARALLAX" was warped and adjusted by hand, line by line — no plugins, no shortcuts. This typography design technique reflects the whole concept: perception shifting depending on where you stand.
Going from hand-drawn wave paths to a full kinetic typography system is such a satisfying arc to see documented. How long did the whole process end up taking from that first sketch to final delivery?
