Personal Project

Optimal

A multi-agent AI productivity platform with a mobile app, built end to end over about 6 months.

A supervisor-orchestrated multi-agent system with structured agent handoffs and human-in-the-loop approval gates, so agents propose actions for review before anything gets written. Built full-stack with React Native (Expo) for the mobile app, Spring Boot for the backend, and a Supabase PostgreSQL schema with 17+ entities. Distributed via TestFlight for real-world testing.
