A small applied AI workflow app for turning conference conversations into structured follow-ups, company-fit signals, and next actions.
This project is built as a proof artifact for Forward Deployed Engineering and Applied AI roles. It shows the workflow shape: start with messy human notes, extract signal, rank the opportunity, draft a follow-up, and turn relationship context into an operating surface.
- Captures people met at Data + AI Summit
- Detects FDE, applied AI, hiring, customer, workflow, media AI, and developer-platform signals
- Ranks contacts by priority
- Maps relationships into a follow-up pipeline
- Scores target-company fit
- Drafts concise follow-up messages
- Exports JSON, CSV, and a markdown follow-up brief
- Runs with no external dependencies
Forward Deployed Engineering starts in ambiguity.
The work is rarely just code. It is:
- discovery
- workflow mapping
- technical scoping
- stakeholder translation
- prototype building
- rollout
- adoption
- feedback into product
This app is a miniature version of that loop. It turns unstructured relationship notes into a workflow a person can act on.

This project is intentionally small, but it is meant to show:
- applied AI product judgment
- workflow automation thinking
- customer-facing technical language
- practical prioritization
- clean UI implementation
- ability to turn a live business moment into working software
- Add OpenAI or Anthropic API extraction for raw notes
- Add calendar/email follow-up integration
- Add LinkedIn-safe outreach templates
- Add a target-company research importer
- Add a session mode for live conference capture
- Add local file export instead of clipboard-only export
I build the bridge from messy workflow to working AI/software system.
