I extended the open-source Paperclip project into a multi-company AI operations control plane with real cost and governance controls. Every agent operates under per-project budgets with automatic hard-stops. Board governance includes approval gates for hiring agents and strategy changes. Built with TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and Express. Open-source contributions are public; proprietary extensions available under NDA.

Built a freelance marketplace where talent is judged on proven work — not bios. It's called Proven.
The whole premise is an inversion of how hiring usually works: freelancers never write their own bio.
Instead, they upload projects they've actually delivered — a short description and a screenshot. An AI engine reads that evidence and builds a verified capability profile from it: a generated headline, a factual capability summary, extracted skills, and a proof score derived entirely from delivered work. Nothing self-reported, nothing salesy.
And companies don't scroll through endless profiles. They describe what they need in plain language, and the platform interprets the brief, then surfaces the freelancers who have already proven they can build it — each match ranked with a feasibility score and a reasoned justification that cites the freelancer's real projects.
The features so far:
My Projects — upload delivered work; each project gets auto-analyzed (summary, capabilities, tech, complexity, domain).
Generated profile — one click synthesizes everything into a verified, evidence-first profile.
Post a Brief — write what you need; the AI structures it into required capabilities, domain, and constraints.
Match Results — ranked, justified matches with fit scores.
Browse Talent — a directory of profiles, every card built from delivered projects, no self-written bios.
The part I love most: every claim on the platform traces back to real evidence. The verified-green accent only ever shows up around things that have actually been proven.
The aesthetic is editorial and credible on purpose — Fraunces serif headlines, a warm off-white canvas — the look of evidence, not advertising.

this is such a great idea!
I'm assuming today Figma will be announcing a lot more coding /vibe coding features to compete.
I'm for it. I pay for Figma and would love to have their AI be just as good as Cursor so I don't have to pay for both.
