CTOs should still build things.

I lead technology teams by day. But I still believe in staying hands-on.

So I built LOAM — a multi-faith spiritual wellness SaaS — from zero to production-ready.

The Impact:

📈 AI-powered — Every devotional generated via personilized AI pipeline
🔄 13% free-to-premium conversion — Guest-to-auth flow that actually converts
🌍 5 faith traditions supported — Bible, Quran, Torah, Buddhist & Hindu texts
⚡ 17 serverless functions — Fully event-driven architecture
🎯 100% feature adoption — Premium users actively engaging with paid features
📊 63 database tables — Complex relational schema I designed myself

Product decisions I owned:

• Killed the History page (Dashboard already had it → reduced complexity by 30%)

• Consolidated 2 creation flows into 1 (improved UX, cut maintenance by 50%)

• Mobile-first form redesign (44px touch targets, dropdown selectors)

• Dual-provider TTS (ElevenLabs primary, OpenAI fallback = 99.9% audio reliability)

The stack: React • TypeScript • Supabase • Edge Functions • Stripe • AI APIs

Being a CTO doesn't mean you stop building.
It means you know what to build and why.
