## Work
- [Fetch TCG — Entry Codes for the Auckland Card Show](https://sudolabs.nz/work/fetch-tcg-entry-codes-for-the-auckland-card-show) — A prize-draw entry system for Fetch TCG's stand at the Auckland Card Show. Visitors trade an email for a unique code on their phone; staff look it up at the stall to redeem it and log wheel-spin entries. A last minute request which I managed to build and deploy a day before the show.
- [HerStockAI](https://sudolabs.nz/work/herstockai) — HerStockAI is an AI-powered investment education platform for women: courses, a GPT-mentor, and a real-world stock trading simulator, wrapped in a paid subscription product. I built it end-to-end as a solo engagement, covering backend, frontend, infrastructure, AI integration, and billing.
