How do you turn $15.9K in ad spend into $49.2K in revenue? You stop guessing and start tracking
Running paid social campaigns without granular visibility is essentially burning budget. For this Q1 2025 performance tracker, the goal wasn't just to make pretty charts—it was to build an automated, actionable intelligence tool that immediately identifies where marketing dollars are generating the highest return. The Data-Driven Insights:
By analyzing over 2.7 million impressions and 1.8 million unique reach, this dashboard uncovered the exact levers driving profitability:
🚀 The ROI Engine: The overarching strategy yielded a highly profitable 3.1 Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).
🏆 Winning Formats: Carousel ads heavily dominated the space, capturing 21.9% of the share, proving that interactive, multi-image formats win the algorithm.
📅 Timing is Everything: Engagement rates spiked massively on Saturdays, reaching near 20%, indicating the optimal window for scaling ad spend.
🎯 Campaign Economics: While "Seasonal Promos" drove the highest total top-line revenue , the "Community" campaigns actually delivered the most efficient ROAS.

I Just Created HYDRUM VEIL 🔥
HYDRUM VEIL is a skincare brand built around a premium SPF 50+ sunscreen, developed as a complete brand identity, packaging design, and seasonal advertising campaign.
The project explores a question most seasonal beauty work gets wrong: how do you make a limited-edition campaign feel festive without making it feel cheap?
Instead of stacking decorative props, the campaign holds a strict visual system - vivid pumpkin orange, deep twilight violet, warm cream, and restrained black and lets a single product carry every frame.

Konto — Personal finance planner, web dashboard and mobile app
Konto is a personal finance planner concept I designed for both desktop and mobile, sharing one data model and one visual language.
Web dashboard: four KPI cards (balance, income, expenses, saving rate) with mini-charts, a weekly cash-flow chart with income and expenses side by side, spending by category as a segmented ring with a legend, and a recent-transactions table. The AI assistant lives in a docked panel bottom-right.
Mobile: the dashboard leads with total balance and a 30-day trend, then cash flow, saving rate and categories in one scroll. Analytics gets its own tabbed view. A floating action button opens the assistant from anywhere.
The visual system is dark by default with two signal colours: lime for income and growth, orange for spending. Glows are used only on the active data point, so highlights mean something. Numbers use the same layout and spacing on both platforms, so switching devices doesn't require re-learning the app.
I’ve been razzmatazzing and flibbertigibbeting with Claude Code and somehow ended up with a new yels.dev.
It finally feels like me: simple on the surface, slightly complicated underneath, and very much alive.
You can see who I am, what I do, the work behind Herodot, RaptorLabs, CyberLink Security and Solmint, plus a selection of projects I’ve built across AI, cybersecurity, Web3, product systems, education, archives, and experimental digital spaces.
Built to be explored
The simple-on-the-surface, layered-underneath idea comes through so clearly in the presentation. I especially like how the project archive turns the site into something to explore rather than just a résumé of links.
