The problem
Early-stage founders and professionals struggle to communicate clearly in investor meetings, sales pitches, and networking. Existing tools focus on slide design—not structured speaking practice or intelligent feedback on delivery, fluency, or confidence.
The client need
A practice-first product: simulated coaching sessions, scenario templates, and actionable scoring on voice confidence, pacing, and clarity.
What I built
I owned frontend implementation, system architecture integration, AI interaction workflows, and deployment structure—wiring Whisper, ChatGPT, OpenAI APIs, embeddings, and PostgreSQL into a coaching loop designed for repetition.
