Launch your next idea. Simplify the everyday.
Custom websites, full-stack apps, and practical AI workflows.
Independent projects and hands-on demos.
Explore the details, then try them yourself.
Organize incoming messages, review suggested replies, and keep a person in control of what gets sent.
Inconsistent order IDs, duplicate records, and invalid emails make exports hard to use. This browser demo normalizes values and produces a clean CSV.
Inspect the output: two duplicate rows removed, one invalid row excluded. Toggle duplicate removal to compare the results.
Public projects in computer graphics and interactive AR, alongside a computer science degree from UC San Diego.

Prepared editorial sample. No automatic newsletter delivery.
Try the news review workspaceWalk through a sample inbound conversation, confirm a time, or test calendar failures and handoffs to a person.
Scripted text simulation. No live phone or calendar connection.
Try the appointment simulationChoose a business problem, not a tech stack. Start with a focused fix, an integration, or a first version.
Give customers a clear path from discovering your business to making an inquiry or purchase.
A first step: one page, one booking flow, or one priority fix.
Turn an idea or a spreadsheet-driven process into a usable application for customers or your team.
A first step: one complete user journey with agreed acceptance tests.
Keep information moving between the tools you use, with less copying, chasing, and re-entering.
A first step: connect two tools and automate one repeatable workflow.
Help customers find answers and help your team work with documents, with clear review and handoff paths.
A first step: a pilot using approved content and a small test set.
Explore an inbound phone assistant for routine questions, lead intake, and appointment requests.
A first step: one call flow, tested before a limited rollout. Platform usage is quoted separately.
Turn scattered files into useful information, or test whether a model can solve a specific problem.
A first step: a sample dataset, a defined output, and measurable checks.
Bring the problem. These are starting points, not a fixed menu. I'll review your technology, access needs, and expected outcome before confirming fit and scope. Discuss another project
You don't need a finished specification or a firm budget to start a conversation.
For a clear feature, fix, or integration. Receive a written quote with deliverables, review points, and payment milestones.
For uncertain requirements or an AI idea. Agree on a bounded assessment or pilot, its fee, and success criteria before committing to a larger build.
Arrange maintenance or improvements separately, with an agreed scope, time allowance, and response window. No required retainer.
Tell me what's not working, who uses it, and what a better result looks like.
Review a written proposal with a manageable first milestone and clear acceptance criteria.
See progress, test the agreed features, and give feedback before final handoff.
Receive the agreed deliverables and setup notes. Arrange ongoing support if you need it.
A technical partner
who sees the business side.
I'm Melaina, an independent developer based in San Diego with a computer science degree from UC San Diego and an entrepreneurial background.
I enjoy connecting the details: a usable interface, the logic behind it, and the workflow it supports. You'll work directly with me, from the first conversation to the final review.
Yes. Share the public website link and describe the issue. I'll review the scope and technology before confirming an approach and price. Please do not send passwords through the inquiry form.
No. Start with the problem and the result you want. We can identify a small first milestone. If the project needs a deeper technical assessment, we'll agree on that scope and fee before any paid work begins.
AutoPilot is an independent engineering project. The message, data-cleaning, and appointment demos use fictional sample data. The news-review sample links to real publisher articles. These browser-based samples are not client testimonials, live phone or email connections, or a claim of customer results.
Often the first step is integrating an existing model or service with your approved content and tools. A pilot tests usefulness, reliability, and usage costs. Custom model work is scoped only after reviewing the data, evaluation needs, and available compute.
Yes, subject to a fit review. We can define one inbound call flow, an existing voice platform, a test plan, and a handoff to your team. Language coverage, business rules, and launch readiness are checked during the pilot rather than assumed.
Pricing is project-specific. We agree on scope and payment milestones in writing before starting. Third-party subscriptions and usage are estimated separately from development and optional support. Payment details are provided with the accepted proposal; this website does not collect card information.
Local meetings can be arranged by agreement. Remote collaboration is welcome worldwide. Include your time zone and preferred meeting times with your inquiry.
