Here is my submission for the Base44 Give It a Glow Challenge ✨🥋 This was my first time using the @Base44 platform, and I came into the challenge with no idea what it was capable of. I was honestly blown away by how much I could build in just a few hours. For the challenge, I chose a local jiu-jitsu instructor who had a strong Instagram presence, but only a very basic Carrd website. Even the email button wasn’t working. Instead of making assumptions, I reached out and asked him directly: “What are some of the challenges you’re dealing with on your current website? What do you want it to accomplish that it isn’t doing right now?” He told me he wanted to: • Establish a more professional online presence • Give people an easy way to book private lessons • Create a way to sell merchandise So I ran with it. I created a completely new visual identity and logo with the help of ChatGPT, then brought it into QuiverAI to produce a clean SVG version. The new public-facing website includes: 🥋 Clearer messaging and positioning 📅 An easy private-session booking experience 👕 A way for visitors to inquire about and purchase merch ⭐ A more professional and trustworthy visual presence 🎥 A powerful testimonial from a well-known lead instructor 📸 An Instagram carousel that helps funnel visitors back to his social content On the backend: • View and manage new leads • Tag leads and move them through a simple pipeline • Track merchandise inquiries Bonus feature: I also built an on-brand social content generator that makes it easy to create graphics for upcoming lessons, promotions, discounts, and announcements. Since this was my first experience with Base44, I was seriously impressed by what I was able to create in such a short amount of time. I only spent a few hours on this version, but I can already see how much further it could be pushed with a few more days of refinement. Overall, this challenge was a great excuse to help a real local business, explore a new platform, and build something that could actually improve how they attract and manage customers.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! 😊 Quick update on a project I am building called The Archives. The project focuses on whistleblowers, researchers, and historical figures connected to alleged advanced aerospace programs and unconventional technology. As the project grew, manually adding people and research via prompt became inefficient, so I prompted a lightweight CMS to better organize and scale the archive. I was blown away at how easy it was to do with Lovable (https://www.linkedin.com/company/lovable-dev/) and some Supabase (https://www.linkedin.com/company/supabase/) database integration. Stay tuned for more updates!

Working on a nice peaceful dashboard for job seekers to keep track of their applications. I took a minimalist approach on the UI but I am curious, what metrics or 'at a glance data' would be helpful for job seekers?

Digital Collateral I created. Ed tech collateral is typically boring and plain to look at. The client I wanted their collateral to *pop*. I made these in Figma so they were easy to update & edit, which the client had many. 😊
