Bronze Prize – AI Pitch Competition: SakeAI – Multilingual Sales Assistant for Sake Breweries
Mar. 2025
As part of the AI Pitch Competition hosted by UC Riverside Product Club, I led the development of a smart assistant concept designed to help Japanese sake breweries expand globally. Many small to mid-sized breweries struggle with language barriers, limited brand recognition, and the inability to communicate their unique value to international buyers. Our AI assistant solves this by offering real-time multilingual Q&A, guided tasting recommendations, and buyer engagement support—positioned as an affordable, scalable SaaS solution.

MBA Project: Creator Stock Trading Platform
Dec. 2024
As part of the MGT412 New Venture Design course, I designed a platform that empowers social media creators to monetize their value. Combining elements of Patreon and Robinhood, the platform allows users to purchase shares of creators, with valuations based on metrics such as follower count and engagement levels. This concept redefines creator monetization, providing creators with a tangible way to realize their true worth while offering investors exclusive benefits.
