Projects & Case Studies

Real problems, real constraints, and the trade-offs behind each build, written out properly rather than summarised into a logo wall.

Family Business, Brand & Local SEO

House Painting Sioux Falls: Brand, Site & Local SEO Foundation

Full brand identity, a rebuilt website, and the technical SEO foundation (server-rendered pages, a Google Business Profile, a dedicated estimate page) for House Painting Sioux Falls, a family business, owner-operated by Nicholas Pilipchuk since 2016, named here with the owner's permission.

A live, rebuilt site that a crawler can actually read, a dedicated estimate page for ad traffic, and a completed Google Business Profile, shipped and verified in real browsers. No traffic or ranking numbers yet: a rebuilt brand, site and local SEO foundation, live in production.
House Painting Sioux Falls · Brand identity, full-stack development, local SEO foundation. Ongoing (family business) · React / Vite, Build-time prerender (SSG), Cloudflare Workers, Google Business Profile

Strive4Purpose: Team Portal & Automation

Built the website, donor/CRM team portal, and the automation layer behind it for Strive4Purpose. A real, live nonprofit engagement, not a case study exercise.

Live production system: public site, donor/board portal, board-meeting minutes automation, grant discovery, and a resilient LLM pipeline with a real local-fallback provider rather than a single point of failure.
Strive4Purpose · Full-stack development, systems architecture, ongoing operations · React / Vite / Tailwind, Cloudflare Workers + D1, Groq + local Ollama LLM fallback, Zoho CRM integration
Personal / Revenue Project, actively expanding

Automated Content Pipeline: Camera to Published Post

An end-to-end media pipeline that turns raw camera footage into edited, captioned, vertical short-form video ready for review and posting: silence-cut editing, AI highlight scoring, remote compute offload with automatic fallback, privacy-preserving content gating, and a human approval step before anything goes public.

A real, unattended overnight pipeline (camera offload through publish-ready video) with cost-aware compute routing, privacy-preserving content gating built and tested (not just designed), and a human approval gate before anything reaches a public audience.
· Design, build, and operate · Python, multi-stage pipeline architecture, Silence-based automatic editing + local speech-to-text, Local LLM highlight and hook scoring, Remote compute offload with automatic local fallback
Business Operations & Systems

Complete Business Work Suite Setup via Zoho

Professional operations with integrated tools that save time and reduce errors
Personal / Systems Engineering

ADHD Copilot

A real-time smart-home-integrated system that helps manage ADHD day-to-day: wake escalation, wind-down routines, activity nudges, and a weekly trend digest, all wired directly into home automation rather than a standalone app.

A live, always-on support system: graduated wake escalation tied to real smart-home devices, calendar-aware nudges, and a text-generation pipeline with three independent fallback providers so a wake-critical message never depends on exactly one service being healthy at 6:40am.
· Design, build, and operate · Home Assistant, Python, Local Ollama + cloud LLM fallback chain, systemd timers
Personal / Infrastructure

Home Automation & Self-Healing Infrastructure

A full smart-home, media, and automation server: HomeKit, cameras with local AI motion/face detection, a large always-on service stack, and a self-healing recovery layer, shaped by real incidents, that keeps all of it running unattended.

A genuinely self-healing home server: automatic health-checked recovery for every service, a staggered priority-tiered restart after a crash or reboot so the box doesn't thrash itself, and monitoring that was deliberately expanded after real incidents exposed gaps a purely service-level health check couldn't see.
· Design, build, and operate · Home Assistant + HomeKit, Local AI camera detection (NVR-style, on-device), Containerized service stack (dozens of always-on services), systemd watchdogs + priority-tiered recovery
Data & Strategy

Multi-State Healthcare Expansion Analysis

Built interactive data dashboards mapping patient populations across 100+ counties in 4 states to guide strategic expansion.

Identified 3 key expansion opportunities, presented directly to Assistant Vice President
People & Change Management

International Staff Integration Program

Developed cultural orientation resources and educational programs to support the integration of international nursing staff.

Faster integration, improved retention, and stronger team cohesion
SaaS, In Development

Maksym Pylypchuk Portal: Business-in-a-Box Platform

A multi-tenant client portal platform (donor/CRM, task board, contracts, e-signature, grant discovery, content engine) forked from the Strive4Purpose proof of concept into a standalone product for future clients: small businesses and nonprofits building from day one.

Actively in development: real infrastructure bootstrap (dedicated D1 database, OAuth clients, board API) in progress, seeded with its own first real tickets as proof the system works end to end.
· Founder, architect, developer · Cloudflare Workers + D1, React / Vite / Tailwind, Google + Apple OAuth, PDF contract generation + e-signature
Client Work, PropTech / SaaS in progress

Milana Estates: Nationwide Site-Analysis Platform

A real-estate development analysis tool that takes a raw address and returns a real feasibility picture (zoning, growth trends, comparable financing, and a client-ready PDF report), built for Milana Estates and now moving toward a white-label product.

A working, nationwide site-analysis engine, re-verified live against markets on opposite coasts, not just the home region it started in. Now on a deliberate, phased roadmap toward a white-label or subscription product rather than staying a single-tenant internal tool.
Milana Estates · Design, build, and operate · Python / Flask, GIS + zoning data aggregation across multiple public data sources, PDF report generation (WeasyPrint), Interactive map search + broker-listing aggregation
Personal / AI Systems Engineering

Multi-Agent AI Orchestration Across a Real Infrastructure

A working pattern for running several AI coding agents against real, live systems at once: separate branches, an orchestrating session that routes work and reviews it, and a discipline for when an agent must stop and ask rather than act. Used nightly across real client and personal infrastructure, not a demo.

A real operating pattern, not a diagram: independent AI sessions branch, build, and self-verify real changes across several live systems in parallel, report status honestly including their own blockers, and defer to a human (or an orchestrating session acting on the human's explicit direction) for anything that changes shared, production, or hard-to-reverse state.
· Design and operate · Multiple concurrent AI coding sessions (Claude Code), Git branch/worktree isolation per workstream, Cross-session messaging for delegation and status reporting, Cloud-provider APIs for independent, read-only verification
Personal / Client Platform Feature

Browser-to-Server Meeting Recording, Built Under a Real Deadline

In-browser meeting recording built for a real portal, from zero to a tested capture pipeline in one evening ahead of a real next-day meeting: chunked, resumable upload designed around the one failure mode that actually matters: losing a long recording to a dropped connection.

A capture pipeline built and real-tested end to end, including a live bug found only by actually running it, not by reading the code, with the recording available for a real, live test before the meeting it was built for.
· Design, build, and operate · MediaRecorder / getUserMedia (browser audio capture), Chunked upload with client-side retry and backoff, A small, purpose-built ingest service with durable, idempotent writes, ffmpeg (container repair)
