The Playground of Ideas

A dedicated space for my curiosities, experiments, and challenges.

AI First CMS Platform
Engineered a frontend dashboard and REST API using Next.js to centralize content creation and management with an AI-first approach. The platform includes a built-in markdown editor powered by TipTap, leveraging TipTap's AI features to capture and replicate user-specific writing styles, significantly accelerating content development. It also implements custom agentic web scrapers for knowledge retrieval and resource aggregation, streamlining the content generation process. Integrated with APIs from major blog providers (Medium, LinkedIn, Dev.to) to enable efficient distribution across multiple platforms.

Jarvis v2
Built a CLI tool that lets me control my computer with voice commands using OpenAI’s Real-Time API. It’s tailored for coding workflows like running shell commands, web scraping documentation, and saving it in an AI-friendly markdown format, as well as file and directory creation. Designed with a modular structure, it’s ready for adding more tools in future iterations. I also integrated the audio buffer mechanism from my Twilio Phone Assistant, ensuring smooth and responsive voice interactions, even when I interrupt the AI mid-task.

AI Slide Creation Workflow
Developed an automated pipeline for generating tailored slide deck content from meeting transcripts and AI-generated notes (via Circleback.ai). Leveraged LlamaIndex with Pydantic output parsing, implemented prior to OpenAI's structured output response model. Built with FastAPI and Jinja2 templates for prompt templating, the system enables efficient slide content generation. The use of Jinja2 allows for highly flexible prompt injection, offering extensive customization to adapt outputs to specific requirements.

Continue Package Manager
A challenge that required me to build a basic package manager in 2 hours with Node.js and implement two commands: add (to add a package) and install (to install all packages). Decided to use a depth-first-search traversal algorithm for dependency management.
