This one hits close to home. 🛠️
For the Base44 #GiveItAGlow challenge, I wanted to give a massive upgrade to a family-owned business that means a lot to me: Champion Auto Glass, a local shop serving South Texas. Having worked there for a summer, I know exactly how hard the team works, and how much manual effort goes into managing operations.
The Before:Â Their online presence was a static, text-heavy page. Customers had to call or email manually, leaving the team stuck playing phone tag to coordinate vehicle details, glass types, and opening times.
The After:Â Built completely on Base44, I transformed it into a type-safe, sleek, multi-step web application. Customers can now select their exact service (Rock Chip vs. Windshield Replacement), input their vehicle make/model, and seamlessly book an available slot in seconds.
The Automation & AI Depth:Â Instead of just sending an email notification, this app wires directly into a custom internal management dashboard:
- Live Job Queue & Quote Manager:Â Instantly logs every submission into structured customer profiles.
- A custom tuned Champion AI Super Agent: An embedded operational assistant. The team can simply type, "List all the rock chip appointments scheduled for this morning," and the AI instantly queries the backend database to return a structured schedule.
Saving time, eliminating phone friction, and putting AI directly into the hands of a local small business.Â

Hi everyone,
I made a benchmark, notebook, and dataset based on the Human Creative Benchmark from Contra Labs.
I utilize Kaggle for all of my R&D and I was happy to build this out. Tested over 30+ leading models to see how well they stack up to when to be technical and when to be creative. The full results are in the Benchmark, theres great data visualizations in my notebook, and you can utilize the dataset I made for it as well. Hope you give a chance to look into!

They told me the sky was the limit, so I decided to paint it. In a single day, I took the grit of a city’s backalleys & slapped it onto a fuselage bound for the stars. OrbitAlley (https://app.fuser.studio/view/6e2038fa-de52-438c-af00-2fe8c47d832d) is more than just a 3D mockup or a video edit; it’s a middle finger to the sterile side of space travel. This is what happens when soul meets rocket fuel, fast, loud, & impossible to ignore.

OrbitAlley is a tribute to the artists who refuse to be grounded. It’s a vision of a "guerilla space program" born in the alleys of San Antonio, where the community trades spray cans for rocket fuel. I used Fuser to bridge that gap, turning urban street grit into high-stakes aerospace engineering.
The Tech Stack & Workflow 🔌
To maintain total brand consistency across diverse environments, I built a multi-model agentic pipeline:
Stylistic Anchor - Used Nano Banana 2(Gem-3.1 Flash) to establish a core style reference. This ensured that the neon-dripping graffiti on the OrbitAlley remained 1:1 consistent across every generation.
Motion Physics - Kling 3.0 Pro handled the complex 8-second cinematic motion, specifically the liquid-morph transition where industrial exhaust coalesces into the "Made by GasMan" signature.
Final Delivery - Sequenced & a music score in rhythm, w/Adobe Express.
The Backend Walkthrough 🦾
Instead of a "black box" approach, this project is a transparent look at the logic. By managing specialized models for style, motion, and layout, I moved from "prompting" to "production."

OrbitAlley - Bridging the Gap Between Street Grit & Aerospace
The Concept 🚀 OrbitAlley is a guerilla-style artist movement originating in the streets of San Antonio. The goal was to visualize a future where community murals and urban grit actually fuel the next space race.
The Workflow 🔌 Instead of fighting AI randomness, I built a structured, node-based pipeline in Fuser to maintain total brand integrity:
Consistency: Used Nano Banana 2 to anchor the "Industrial-Neon" aesthetic across diverse environments.
Motion Engineering:Â Deployed Kling Pro 3.0Â for 8-second cinematic physics, specifically the smoke-to-logo liquid morph transition.
Compositing: Utilized the compositor for real-time vector layering, ensuring the graffiti tags felt physically integrated into the rocket fuselage.
Post-Production:Â Final assembly and audio syncing of the industrial score handled in Adobe Express.

Project Name: OrbitAlley
OrbitAlley is a tribute to the artists who refuse to be grounded. It’s a vision of a "guerilla space program" born in the alleys of San Antonio, where the community trades spray cans for rocket fuel. I used Fuser to bridge that gap, turning urban street grit into a high-stakes, neon-plumed mission to the stars.
The Build
Kept the workflow simple to make sure the "OrbitAlley" movement felt like a real-world documentary.
The Look (Nano Banana 2): Used this for every frame to keep the vibe consistent, mixing gritty San Antonio textures with vibrant, dripping neon paint so the world felt unified.
The Motion (Kling 3.0 Video): Ran 8-second clips in Pro Mode to keep the graffiti stable. The technical highlight was forcing a smoke plume to physically morph into the final "GasMan" bubble-letter text.
The Assembly (Adobe Express): Took the raw Fuser generations into Adobe Express to cut the final cuts, and syncing the music score with the kinetic energy of the launch.
