  • Delivered an AI coaching chatbot for an enterprise client by building the full stack with React 18, TypeScript, Express, Prisma, and Gemini 2.5 Flash, deploying frontend on Vercel and API on Railway with Turso (libSQL).
  • Improved response relevance by building an intent detection pipeline that classifies learner requests across 4 categories and injects matching lesson content into Gemini's system prompt.
  • Prevented unsafe interactions by adding a content safety layer with PII stripping, keyword-based HR/crisis escalation detection, and input filtering that blocks flagged messages before persistence.
