Architected AI Notes workflows that coordinate browser capture, editor state, backend routing, asynchronous job polling, telemetry, and recovery across legacy and modern AI pipelines.
Designed a multimodal video-in, notes-out pipeline where the extension captures realtime video learning context, the web app deduplicates and ranks visual frames, and the backend generates structured notes from transcript plus selected visual context.
Built local-first note-taking workflows with Obsidian vault saving, screenshot handling, note history, reconnect/recovery paths, and guardrails against destructive auto-save behavior.
Implemented monetization and billing infrastructure across Stripe for global card payments, China one-time passes via WeChat Pay/Alipay, and India payments via Razorpay/UPI, including subscription APIs, webhook cleanup, and recurring billing workflow handling.
