AWS GCP Terraform NodeJS React Native Angular OAuth Browser Extensions TypeScript

As the only founder and software engineer of an open-source language-learning platform, I am fully responsible for the entire product lifecycle. From ideation to revenue generation including customer support, marketing, and GDPR compliance. The platform is growing slowly, but steadily without much babysitting on my side. The platform includes:

  • AWS/GCP cost-optimized infrastructure that is running AI prompts and caching the results
  • iOS and Android apps created with React Native
  • Web app created with Angular
  • Browser extension created with Web Components
  • Thousands of SEO-friendly landing pages created with Vanilla TypeScript

Users love this product, and 25% of its growth is attributed to word of mouth.
