Independent Projects

Vyoman

2026 – Present

AI-Native Aerial Business Platform · Founder & Builder

An end-to-end, AI-native aerial-photography business — public site, print store, ops console, Vantage mission intelligence, and AI creative pipeline — designed, built, and deployed solo, with real payments, fulfilment, and customers.

  • Public site + print store on Next.js 15 (Neon Postgres + Drizzle): Stripe checkout, Gelato print-on-demand fulfilment with DHL shipment tracking, returning customer checkout panel, and four-tier digital image licensing.
  • Built a canonical data layer (VSIN registry) as the single source of truth, plus a Django 5.2 control-plane console on Railway — order ops with live Gelato sync, lifecycle emails, LLM intelligence dashboard, and VLM inference matching against the product registry. Console changes propagate via ISR — no deploy needed.
  • Built Vantage (vantage.vyomanaerials.com) — 12-phase LLM mission intelligence in 3 days: streaming LLM brief generator (SSE), airspace WMS compliance, weather + drone suitability scoring, shot references via FLUX image generation + Pexels, and portfolio ROI attribution linking flights to orders.

ComplyLens

Jun 2026 – Present

AML/KYC Compliance Intelligence · Co-founder & Builder

LLM-powered compliance intelligence platform for Luxembourg AML/KYC teams — generates CSSF-inspection-ready review documentation with structured evidence citations, audit trails, and four-eyes workflow. Full MVP built in 2 days. Demo live at complylens.vercel.app.
