RevenueCat Shipyard 2026 Submission
Built a comprehensive AI coaching platform with 6 specialized coaches using React Native, OpenAI GPT-4, and RevenueCat for subscription management. Implemented freemium model with seamless in-app purchases.
Gemini API Developer Competition 2026
Developed an AI-powered lecture companion that records, transcribes, summarizes, and translates lectures in 50+ languages using Google Gemini 3.0 Flash. Features real-time audio visualization and automatic Google Drive integration.
Professional Work
Architected and deployed a cloud-native data platform on AWS processing 100M+ events daily. Implemented real-time ETL pipelines, data quality monitoring, and ML model serving infrastructure.
I'm participating in the RevenueCat Shipyard 2026 hackathon because I believe AI-powered coaching can democratize access to personal development in a way that was never before possible.
Personal Connection: As someone who struggled to afford professional coaching early in my career, I know firsthand how transformative expert guidance can be—and how inaccessible it is for most people.
Global Impact: This isn't just about building an app; it's about creating a tool that can help millions of people achieve their goals, regardless of their financial situation or location.
Creator Partnership: Simon's audience represents the exact users who would benefit most from this technology—busy professionals who want to improve but lack time for traditional coaching. This hackathon is an opportunity to validate this concept with a creator who shares this vision.
Technical Challenge: Building a production-ready mobile app with AI integration, subscription management, and seamless UX in one month is exactly the kind of challenge that excites me as an engineer.
Beyond the competition, I see Nirvan as a long-term project that I'm committed to developing further. Whether I win or not, I plan to continue building this platform because I believe it can make a real difference in people's lives.
My Commitment:
If selected as a winner, I commit to working directly with the creator to refine the app based on their audience's feedback, implement the roadmap features, and launch a public beta within 90 days. This isn't just a hackathon project—it's the beginning of something meaningful.
