I worked on Cognea AI, a platform offering users a practice interview experience powered by cutting-edge Generative AI models.

Leading the ideation process, I identified a need for an enhanced interview practice tool. I then developed a Minimum Viable Product ("MVP") to validate this hypothesis. The MVP featured an AI practice interviewer capable of conducting verbal mock interviews with custom questions and follow-ups, along with personalized feedback.

I designed and implemented the MVP web application and backend services. This included crafting the AI interview flow, implementing prompts for conducting interviews and providing feedback, integrating AI interview text-to-speech and user speech-to-text processing, incorporating interview voice and speech animations, managing user authentication, data storage/logging, and deployment. Technologies utilized included React, Azure Active Directory, Static Web Apps, Cognitive Services, Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, NodeJS, and OpenAI GPT & Whisper APIs.

To establish an online presence, I developed and deployed an HTML landing page, managing domain setup and hosting on Azure. Additionally, I curated blogs and content to enhance SEO ranking.

Upon completing the MVP, I orchestrated the product launch by reaching out to our waitlist via email and promoting video ads on social media platforms. This effort garnered over 100 sign-ups, marking a successful launch phase.
