Projects

Social Media AI

Private Client

2026 — In progress

The client needs to streamline its social media management, estimation, and project tracking. The solution involved implementing an AI-driven pipeline that converts customer emails and project logs into engaging blog content, supported by AI-optimized marketing imagery. This shift significantly reduced administrative overhead, freeing up the team to prioritize high-value work. Future iterations will focus on automating data ingestion and execution to make these background processes almost entirely hands-off.

Skills: Gemini, Airtable, Pomelli

Technical details

Blog posts are synthesized via Gemini using specific prompt engineering to ensure brand alignment. Image styling is handled by Pomelli for a polished, professional look. The next stage of the rollout utilizes Airtable’s native triggers and AI capabilities to bridge disparate data points into a fully automated workflow.

Wellness Survey

Wellness Education for Living and Loving

2025 — 2026

The Wellness survey asks 72 questions about the users life choices. There are two variations of the survey. After a user completes the survey it is scored and an email is generated that explains the scores and helps the user understand how they perform in areas like honesty, humility and physical fitness.

Skills: Survey Monkey, Google Apps Script, Google Sheets

Technical details

The project used Survey Monkey to build and collect answers. The scoring was done using Google Apps Script. Answers were stored in Google Sheets. These technologies were chosen to create an MVP that will be presented to hundreds of users. As the project grows these technologies will be replaced for higher volume solutions and extended capabilities.
