Alpinia Enterprises Ltd · Product Consultant, Information Technology
Remote (Malaysia, USA)
An IT consultancy delivering specialised product and software work for European tech clients. Built products and solutions end-to-end for clients by utilising AI for rapid prototyping and building for both greenfield and brownfield projects. As an AI-native PM, I can now independently lead development from product design and full-stack development through to deployment and managed services.
- AI-native Product Development: Built thousands of components, hundreds of pages and dozens of tools, plus an agentic harness inside Claude: 60+ agents and 100+ skills running the SDLC end-to-end.
- Payments: Implemented the DirePay cryptocurrency gateway via REST API with static per-account deposit addresses, and a real-time volatility engine converting crypto into pre-approved stablecoins after payment; the NextGen backend settles near-instantly.
- Web platform revamp: Led a rapid UI/UX revamp of monolithic Drupal CMS apps: product and design sprints, then Vite + React SPAs mounted into the CMS, upgrading every landing page.
- Mobile web app UI/UX: End-to-end design overhaul of a mobile web app on legacy PHP: 20+ module-level flows designed in Claude Design, refined in Figma, benchmarked screen by screen, styled in Tailwind CSS and shipped with a new design system.
- SPA Landing Pages: Designed, built and shipped Next.js/React landing pages for every user persona, with GoHighLevel CRM, sales automations and GTM/GA tracking set up through LLM prompting and MCP. SEO-optimised pages lifted booking conversion 7.52% in the first month of paid ads.
- Graphic Design & Social Media Automations: Built a graphic design and social media workflow from scratch, cutting turnaround from 1-3 days to 5 minutes: content discovery, AI graphics, post enrichment and publishing, run entirely from an LLM window.
