real revenue · sunset

AI tool that generates TN-visa support letters under USMCA.

End-to-end SaaS that drafts a compliant TN support letter from an applicant's details — Stripe payments, MongoDB, and OpenAI. It generated real revenue, but I wound it down once customer-acquisition cost climbed higher than the unit economics could support.

VCFRONT Gen 3 — the brains of the Model Y front end.

Front-controller redesign for the Model Y 2024 refresh (VCFRONT Gen 3). Moved from discrete analog eFuses to integrated digital VNF1048F smart-fuse ICs; replaced state-machine trapezoidal BLDC drivers for the pumps and radiator fans with microcontroller-based pre-drivers; plus numerous cost and GSM improvements.
