NASA

Built Software for NASA

Developed mission-critical software used by NASA — one of the most demanding engineering environments on the planet.

What I built

Built a platform that tracks the inventory of all equipment, experiments, and supplies sent to space. Every item loaded onto a mission — from scientific instruments to crew provisions — was logged, tracked, and verified through this system. The platform handled real-time status updates, weight manifests, and audit trails that NASA engineers relied on for mission planning and safety compliance.

  • Inventory tracking system for space-bound equipment
  • Real-time manifest & weight compliance checks
  • Audit trail for mission safety verification
  • Integrated with NASA internal logistics APIs
Michael Jordan

Collaborated with Michael Jordan

Worked on a software project in partnership with Michael Jordan — bringing elite-level digital infrastructure to an iconic brand.

What I built

Developed a digital platform for one of Michael Jordan's brand ventures — building the full-stack infrastructure that powers customer experience, product management, and order fulfilment for the brand. The project demanded a premium-grade UI, scalable backend, and tight integration with third-party fulfilment systems, all delivered to the exacting standards expected of a globally recognised name.

  • Full-stack platform for brand e-commerce & CRM
  • Premium UI/UX aligned with brand standards
  • Inventory & order fulfilment integrations
  • Scalable backend for high-traffic launches

Solana Blockchain

Solana Blockchain — Anti-Fraud System

Architected and deployed a fraud-prevention software on the Solana blockchain — securing millions in on-chain transactions.

What I built

Designed and deployed an on-chain fraud detection system for a Solana-based platform. The software monitored transaction patterns in real time, flagging suspicious wallet behaviour, duplicate submissions, and bot-driven activity. Smart contract-level checks were combined with an off-chain analytics layer to provide a complete fraud shield — reducing fraudulent transactions by over 90% within the first month of deployment.

  • Real-time on-chain transaction pattern analysis
  • Smart contract validation & bot-activity detection
  • Off-chain analytics dashboard for fraud ops team
