Eleven things I shipped that have receipts.

01
Rising Team · 2025 – presentaRTi AI Roleplay
+8% AI feature usage in 24h · +29% adoption since launch
  • LangChain
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
An LLM-powered practice tool that lets managers rehearse difficult leadership conversations, with a persona built from real teammate data and ElevenLabs voice.02
Rising Team · 2024 – presentaRTi AI Leadership Trainer
Up to 33% retention lift · 60–200% eNPS gain across customers
  • LangChain
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
The umbrella AI product I helped build: personalized leadership growth plans, AI Roleplay practice, AI Coaching, and team-building sessions for managers.03
Rising Team · 2025 – 2026AI Memory
Every conversation starts warm · regeneration rate-limited to protect LLM spend
  • LLM
  • Gemini
  • Django
An LLM-synthesized profile of each user, rebuilt in the background from their own conversations and exercise answers, so the AI coach carries memory across sessions instead of re-learning them every time.04
Rising Team · 2023 – 2024Mini Kit Framework
~95% reduction in kit-build time · 120 kits launched · thousands of sessions
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Django
A config-driven build system for 10–20 minute interactive team activities. Cut kit creation from ~1 hour to 3–5 minutes.05
Rising Team · 2024Realtime Framework
Eliminated poll-driven latency · lower server load · richer interactive sessions
  • Firebase Realtime DB
  • Django
  • React
Replaced 3-second polling across the platform with a realtime data-sync framework. Unlocked interactive session formats that polling couldn't carry.06
Rising Team · 2026Microsoft Teams Platform
Second chat platform shipped in 3 months · a third was later built on the abstraction
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Bot Framework
  • Microsoft Graph
Took a Slack-only bot and made it platform-agnostic: full Microsoft Teams support on the same data model, then a client abstraction and adapter registry that a third platform now rides.
