Leading the full-stack development of an AI-powered damage detection platform for car clubs. Building a complete serverless architecture from React frontend through AWS Lambda backend, with Claude AI integration for intelligent image analysis and report generation.

Responsible for the entire technical stack: S3 for image storage, DynamoDB for data persistence, Lambda functions for serverless compute, and API Gateway for clean REST endpoints.

Key Responsibilities

Full-Stack Development

Building complete features from React/TypeScript frontend with shadcn/ui components through to Python AWS Lambda backend services.

AWS Infrastructure

Designing serverless architecture using Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and API Gateway for scalable, cost-effective solutions.

AI Integration

Integrating Claude AI for damage detection with focus on explainability, allowing users to understand why predictions were made.

Report Generation

Building automated PDF report generation with shareable links, professional formatting, and integration with car club policies.

Featured Project

AI-Powered Damage Detection Platform
