cat about.md
# background
i started as a constructional architect — built environments, architectural visualisation, project
management — the whole 9 yards. i left that behind and fell hard for code and never went back. these
days i'm full-stack with a keen eye for design, but my comfort zone is shipping laravel apps that solve
everyday business problems.
# what i'm into right now
- building maintainable laravel apps for real client workflows
- automation around forms, dashboards, imports, exports, queues, and apis
- the boring-but-critical stuff: auth, billing, queues, error handling, deploys
# how i work
deliberate, written-first. i can run a project solo end-to-end or slot into a team — and i'm
comfortable leading one when that's what's needed. i ask questions early, communicate proactively, and
care about shipping things that actually get used. my experience as an architect and project manager
means everything is built aesthetically and thoughtfully. i value clear communication and shared
understanding, as they say god is in the details.

leadbot — rfp scraper, ai analyst + proposal generator
n8n automation that scrapes rfp feeds daily, uses gemini ai to rank and
summarise the top five opportunities, posts them to slack with one-click
apply, then generates a fully populated google slides proposal on demand.
Built a scheduled n8n workflow that reads five RFP RSS feeds, filters to the last 24 hours, and
aggregates results for analysis.
Wired Gemini AI to rank and select the top five RFPs most relevant to the agency's service
offering, producing structured JSON with opportunity summaries, fit rationale, risks, and
go/no-go decisions.
Formatted results as interactive Slack blocks posted to a dedicated #rfps channel, with per-RFP
Apply buttons and a graceful no-results fallback message.
Built a second webhook-triggered workflow that intercepts Slack Apply clicks, shows a live
spinner in-place, then generates a full proposal via Gemini — cover letter, executive summary,
methodology, timeline, and pricing.
Implemented Google Drive deduplication logic, template copying, and Google Slides batchUpdate to
populate a master proposal deck with AI-generated content field by field.
Surfaced a View Proposal link and Regenerate button back into the Slack thread once the deck is
ready, allowing one-click reruns with a confirmation dialog.
