Case Studies

Real Problems. Real Results.

Detailed breakdowns of how we've helped clients overcome technical challenges.

SoulFeedz — AI-Curated Community News

Internal Project

Django HTMX Tailwind Railway

Problem

Black and Caribbean American communities lacked a centralized, positive news source. Mainstream feeds are algorithmically optimized for outrage, not uplift. Community members had to manually hunt across dozens of sources.

Solution

Built SoulFeedz — a Django platform that scrapes 23+ RSS feeds, filters articles through AI sentiment analysis, and surfaces positive, culturally relevant content. Deployed on Railway with PostgreSQL and automated fetching every 4 hours.

Results

Live at soulfeedz.com serving curated content daily. AI filtering removes 60%+ of negative or irrelevant articles before they reach readers. Zero manual curation needed after initial setup.

GlowBook — Salon Booking for the Culture

Community Project

Django HTMX Stripe Tailwind

Problem

Local beauty parlors and barbershops rely on phone calls, DMs, and walk-ins to manage appointments. No-shows cost small salon owners thousands annually. Existing booking software is expensive and not designed for independent stylists.

Solution

Built GlowBook — a booking platform with client profiles, automated reminders, and an AI assistant that helps clients describe what they want and matches them to the right stylist. Mobile-first design with Stripe for deposits.

Results

Designed to reduce no-shows by 40%+ through deposit-based booking and SMS reminders. AI concierge helps clients articulate their vision before they sit in the chair.

GrantWise — Nonprofit Grant Intelligence

Community Project

Django PostgreSQL OpenAI D3.js

Problem

Small nonprofits spend 20+ hours per week manually searching for grant opportunities across scattered databases. Most miss deadlines or apply for grants they don't qualify for, wasting limited staff time.

Solution

Built GrantWise — a donor and grant management platform with AI-powered grant matching. Organizations enter their mission and budget, and the system surfaces relevant opportunities, tracks deadlines, and generates application drafts.

Results

AI matching reduces grant search time by 80%. Deadline tracking eliminates missed opportunities. Reporting dashboard gives board members instant visibility into funding pipeline.
