Selected client work

A curated selection of professional projects spanning mobile, AI, XR, and enterprise platforms.

Case Management System, CIKO React · C# · Architecture · Org Structure

2025

CIKO provides financial support and transition services across multiple agreements and stakeholders. I’ve worked hands-on in both React and C#, while defining the system architecture and long-term structure of a multi-tenant case management platform. The system handles agreement-specific configuration, approval flows, budget constraints, and external integrations. In parallel, I’ve structured data migration, aligned stakeholders across organizations, and strengthened the team through hiring and clearer technical ownership.

Exploring how EEG data can be captured and translated into usable signals. I built a Unity-based system to visualize real-time cognitive states, focusing on signal interpretation, stability, and how the data can be used in practice. The work sits somewhere between experimentation and applied tooling.

Feasability Study, Volvo Cars Vision Pro
