ETF Dashboard: Real-time data without breaking the bank
Day 1: Researched free ETF APIs. Yahoo Finance unofficial API works but rate-limits at 2000 req/hour. Day 2: Implemented caching layer with Redis. Day 3: Recharts customization took 4 hours alone.
No-code CRM: Bubble + AI = Magic
The key insight: Bubble API connector + OpenAI = unlimited AI features without a single line of backend code. Gmail integration was the hardest part — OAuth flow took 2 hours to debug.
Medical OCR: 94% accuracy on handwritten forms
Tesseract alone gave 67% accuracy. Adding GPT-4 Vision as a post-processing step jumped it to 94%. The trick: use Tesseract for initial extraction, then ask GPT-4 to correct and structure the output.
Smart Contract Auditor: AI finds what humans miss
Combined Slither (static analysis) with GPT-4 (semantic analysis). Slither catches syntax-level bugs fast. GPT-4 catches logic-level vulnerabilities that require understanding context. Together: 94% detection rate on known CVEs.
A/B Testing Platform: Design-first approach
Started with Figma mockups before writing a single line of code. The constraint: non-technical marketers must be able to create tests without help. Iterated 3 times on the drag-and-drop editor.
GitHub PR Bot: Teaching AI to review code
Used GitHub Actions + OpenAI API. The hard part: making the bot suggestions actually useful (not just add comments). Solution: fine-tuned on 10,000 accepted/rejected PR reviews from open-source projects.
Crypto Tax Tracker: Handling DeFi complexity
Traditional portfolio trackers break on DeFi. Liquidity pool entries/exits, yield farming rewards, NFT royalties — none of these fit standard accounting models. Built a custom transaction classifier using ML.
How I built RestaurantAI in 6 hours
Started with Supabase schema design at 9am. Used GPT-4 to generate the demand prediction model. Hit a wall with the mobile dashboard at hour 4 — switched from MUI to Tailwind and it clicked immediately. Deployed to Vercel at 3pm.
