Personal Productivity System with Gamification and Workflow Automation
Freelancer — Systems Architect
To manage ADHD-related executive function challenges and maintain sustainable productivity, I designed and implemented a modular, gamified productivity system that evolved into a fully automated behavioral tool.
Traditional productivity tools (planners, calendars, to-do apps) failed to drive consistent engagement or match fluctuating energy levels.
The opportunity was to design a self-regulating, gamified system that would make task completion intrinsically motivating — using automation to remove friction and decision fatigue.
- Designed a point-based RPG system to reward tasks based on effort, urgency, and long-term impact.
- Created task categories and streak mechanics to drive daily consistency and long-term progression.
- Automated score updates, habit tracking, and daily reset logic using Coda formulas and button-based logic.
- Developed iOS Shortcuts to push screenshots from Goodnotes directly into the system for task parsing.
- Integrated AI-assisted classification to extract tasks from notes and update the task database automatically.
- Iterated weekly challenge mechanics, status effects (energy, focus), and milestone rewards to reinforce behavior loops.
- Significantly increased consistency in task execution, especially on high-cognitive-load or ambiguous tasks.
- Reduced friction in daily planning through fully automated pipeline from notes to tasks.
- Demonstrated the ability to design closed feedback systems that drive user behavior over time.
- Built a reusable architecture for productivity gamification that mirrors user engagement frameworks in commercial products.
Django-Based Collaborative Dissertation Platform
Freelancer — Systems Architect
Traditional academic supervision tools (Word, email, PDFs) were unstructured, hard to track, and inefficient for managing feedback on a 300+ page dissertation under constant revision.
The goal was to build a purpose-built collaboration platform for real-time document review between PhD student and advisor.
Academic advisors needed a structured way to comment on specific sections, track changes over time, and reference data tables and figures — none of which was well-supported by traditional tools.
The opportunity was to build a lightweight but powerful Django-based app that enabled inline feedback, review tracking, and custom integration of code-generated content.
- Designed a custom collaboration platform tailored to the academic supervision workflow, enabling structured feedback and version control across long-form documents.
- Built a local-first system that prioritized data privacy, modularity, and full author control over content and revisions.
- Developed flexible editing and commenting capabilities to support granular, sentence-level review and iterative improvement.
- Implemented dynamic content handling to support integration of external elements such as data tables and figures generated in Python.
- Created administrative tools to manage documents, track feedback cycles, and support academic process transparency.
- Future-proofed the architecture to accommodate citation logic, content compilation, and extended use beyond a single dissertation.
- Eliminated friction in PhD feedback loops — supervisor could leave comments per sentence, reducing back-and-forth confusion.
- Enabled centralized review across dozens of chapters, interviews, figures, and datasets.
- Significantly reduced cognitive load for managing revision cycles and integrating comments.
- Demonstrated feasibility of a structured alternative to traditional word processors for academic research.
Coda-Based Accounting System with Multi-Table Sync and Automation
Centro de Psicología Sandra Ribeiro — Systems Architect
As the clinic scaled, financial tracking became fragmented across spreadsheets, invoices, and session logs.
There was an urgent need for a unified accounting system to track revenue and expenses across therapists, session types, and payment sources — while ensuring data integrity and auditability.
Existing tools couldn’t connect session records, payments, invoices, and supervision tracking into a coherent, flexible financial overview.
Manual entry created duplication risk, poor traceability, and no real-time visibility into financial health.
The opportunity was to design a live, low-maintenance, auditable accounting system built entirely in Coda.
- Designed the system architecture to consolidate financial data from multiple service lines and workflows into a single source of truth.
- Implemented automated logic to sync and categorize income and expenses based on operational activity.
- Built custom interfaces to allow the administrative team to manage finances with minimal manual input or duplication.
