Case studies.
Long-form write-ups of the AI products I shipped end-to-end — read as product + market research, not just build logs. Each one walks the same arc: Market → Problem → Constraints → Architecture → Trade-offs → Goals → Outcome, with cited 2026 market numbers, competitive positioning, and — where it exists — the underlying research embedded in-browser.

HotelClaw.aiPrivate
Assist-only AI for boutique hotels · PMS integrations
Full-Stack & AI Engineer (contract) · HotelClaw.ai
A multi-tenant AI platform for boutique hotels that captures guest and staff messages, routes them with an LLM and grounds drafts in the hotel's own data, while staff send every reply. I own the PMS integration layer, and built the channel ingestion, most of the intent router and the tenant-isolation checks.
5 PMS adapters39 fixture tests~600 merged PRs
- One PMS sync runner, five adapters: an Oracle OPERA export translator live at the pilot resort, plus Opera Cloud (OHIP), Mews, Cloudbeds and Apaleo
- LINE and WhatsApp webhooks, HMAC-verified, written to an event log
- Most of the LLM intent router: it drafts and routes, and sends high-risk guest messages to a person
- Tenant isolation as a CI check: row-level security on every table, exceptions taken from 54 to zero
- Engineering baseline from day one: Biome, PR gates, CI, secret scanning
