Operations leader who builds. I embed with the people doing the work, find where the process is actually broken, and ship the software that fixes it — deployed applications, not prototypes.
Selected builds
Namesake
- Live consumer product, designed and shipped end to end: Next.js 16 and React 19 in TypeScript, PostgreSQL through Prisma, email-link authentication, and a guided conversation built on the Anthropic API.
- Stripe integration handling live payments, refunds and disputes across all four webhook events, with secrets held in environment configuration and never in the repository. Real transactions processed and verified end to end.
- Backed by a 72-check automated probe suite covering the payment, entitlement and free-tier paths; 66 commits; deployed on Vercel with a custom domain.
Scribe Pilot
github.com/elisalora/Dynamic-Workshop-v1
- Real-time facilitation platform for workshops running several discussion tables at once. Table audio streams through Deepgram speech recognition; a per-table AI scribe loop turns the transcript into a readable visual board every 45 seconds.
- A cross-table theme engine runs every three minutes over every table at once, surfacing the idea several groups are circling independently, which the facilitator can promote to a split-flap board at the front of the room — so the room writes its own agenda.
- TypeScript monorepo: API server, facilitator console, mobile client and shared schema packages, with WebSocket transport and structured run logging.
- Ran live for two days at a closed 45-person workshop spanning military operations, academia, industry and government, capturing every table in real time — including two capability changes shipped during the event itself.
plzfix
document analysis
- Reverse-outlines a draft and surfaces what an editing pass cannot fix: the missing thesis, and claims inside the document that contradict each other. Built because badly structured documents have to be rebuilt from first principles, not rephrased.
- Next.js and TypeScript on the Anthropic API, with schema-validated model output. Validated against five real institutional documents at roughly $0.21 each; it found a rule-level contradiction in an eleventh-revision consensus document and a missing thesis in two separate research proposals.
Event platform
private repository
- Registration, RSVP capture, participant records, merge handling and organizer tooling for a multi-day conference — the system that replaced the spreadsheet-and-email-thread version of the job, running live under real deadlines.
- Next.js and TypeScript on PostgreSQL with hosted authentication, inbound email ingestion, and 28 automated probe scripts covering the access and data-merge rules.
