RoadDex

v0.8.0·source

Mobile App

Dashboard-mounted Android app that scans vehicle number plates in real time with on-device OCR (no cloud). Categorizes plates (private, commercial, government, regional), de-duplicates with fuzzy matching, logs GPS for each sighting, and gamifies long drives with XP, achievements, and live stats. v0.8.0 adds APB (All Points Bulletin) alerts — KYC-verified users can file stolen or wanted vehicle reports; the community confirms sightings and earns spotter assists. Push notifications alert nearby spotters in real time.

Real-time convoy tracking app — start a convoy, share a link, and everyone follows the lead car live on the map. No sign-up, no accounts. The lead's route is drawn as a trail; followers get a road-based navigation line to catch up. Built with Mapbox GL JS, Supabase Realtime, and Next.js 15.

Personal finance + household management portal I built for my own home. Ingests bank SMS, parses PDF statements, and reads receipts via Claude Vision — then categorizes everything against a rule engine with an AI fallback that learns. Dashboards, monthly ledger, bills, cashflow forecast, and budget anomaly detection.

About Me

Building the future of commerce

I'm a tech lead and digital business consultant specializing in MedusaJS — turning rough ideas into shipped commerce platforms. From scrappy MVPs to fully scaled marketplaces, I build software that becomes the foundation a business grows on.

I've been with MedusaJS since the early days. Every release, every breaking change, every new module — I've watched the framework evolve and shipped real products on it through each shift. That history pays off when something needs to scale or migrate without surprises.

If you need someone who can take an ambitious vision, turn it into a concrete plan, and ship the system that delivers it — let's talk.

RoadDex

Android app that scans number plates in real time as you drive — mount your phone on the dashboard, start a session, and it silently reads plates through the camera. v0.8.0 adds APB alerts for stolen and wanted vehicles with community sightings, KYC-gated filing, push notifications, and in-app feedback.

Real-time OCR via ML Kit + Vision Camera frame processor at ~3fps with confidence-gated rare-plate detection (0.88 threshold vs 0.72 for standard plates)
Custom plate validation pipeline: length filters, fuzzy dedup for OCR jitter, cooldown gate, and pattern matching across private/commercial/govt/regional formats
GPS coverage heatmap (react-native-maps Heatmap) on Achievements screen showing where you've driven; day-scoped feed that persists across drive stops
