Core Web Vitals

High-Performance Frontend Engineering

I build sites that load fast and feel snappy, even under heavy traffic — because slow sites lose customers.

NZMAI Platform Migration

Problem: A growing fintech product was constrained by a no-code Bubble.io setup, making role-based access control, performance tuning, and long-term scalability difficult.

Solution Highlights

  • Moved the entire platform off a no-code tool onto a proper, organised database.
  • Made sure only the right people can access sensitive data, by role.
  • Delivered a stable, modern app ready to grow without rebuilding again.
Result: Improved scalability, simplified deployment on Vercel, and set a foundation for future features without re-platforming again.

AI Compliance Analyzer (Proof of Concept)

Problem: A prominent mortgage advisory firm faced slow and inconsistent compliance checks, where reviewers had to manually cross-reference multiple files and email threads for each case.

Solution Highlights

  • Encoded a five-step advisory process into configurable compliance rules.
  • Built ingestion pipelines for PDF, DOCX, and email content analysis.
  • Integrated Gemini analysis with step-level pass/fail reasoning.
Result: Panel feedback was strongly positive: a review workflow that previously took 3+ hours was completed in under a minute, with clear pass/fail reasoning for each compliance step.
