Custom software that streamlined their day-to-day operations, cutting about 10 hours of manual work every week.
Brothers on the Rise · San Francisco · Sep 2023 – Apr 2024
About ten hours a week of manual work, handed to software.
I was a technical consultant for Brothers on the Rise. I built custom software for their day-to-day operations, and a web app with ChatGPT built in to engage people and collect their feedback. We worked in short agile cycles, and improvements went out 20% faster.

A fake summary: simple keyword rules running in this page. No AI, no network. The real app had ChatGPT built in.
Tasks, minutes, rate, workshop and answers are all made up for this page. It is not the software I built for Brothers on the Rise, and it says nothing about their own work or people.
