Jamil Yakasai

Applied-AI Product Builder · Founder & AI Systems Builder

I design and ship applied-AI products end to end: requirements, architecture, UX, data, and production deployment. I built Novalyte AI's healthtech platform, its operator console, and its multi-tenant clinic app. The common thread is turning ambiguous problems into usable software.

About

From ambiguous problem to shipped AI product.

I build AI-enabled products and the internal tools that run them. I start by mapping the real process and the people in it, then design the user journeys, data model, and AI workflow behind it: LLM calls with structured outputs, tool calling, and validation before anything is written to the database. Then I ship it to production.

Since 2024 I've built Novalyte AI, a multi-sided healthtech platform connecting patients, specialty clinics, healthcare professionals, and vendors. It has a public discovery site, a clinic-facing SaaS app, and an internal operator console. Before that I was a Sales Operations Analyst at Zendesk, which is why my products are built around how revenue teams actually work.

01Product, end to end

Requirements, workflow architecture, user journeys, UX/UI, and production deployment, owned by one person.

02Applied AI

LLM workflows, prompt engineering, structured outputs and JSON schemas, tool calling, and AI-assisted development.

03Data & operator tools

Supabase/Postgres, BigQuery, SQL data hygiene, admin consoles, and dashboards, plus GTM automation when the product needs it.

Systems I've designed and built myself. Where something is a prototype or a sample, I say so.

Novalyte AI website hero: The Operating System for Men's Health
Founder · Product & Engineering

Novalyte AI: healthtech growth & discovery platform

Specialized men's-health care is fragmented. Patients struggle to find and vet clinics, and clinics spend heavily on inconsistent lead generation and run intake through disconnected tools. Novalyte connects patient discovery, AI-guided informational assessments, verified clinic matching, intake, and conversion intelligence on one platform.

Role
Founder. Owned product, architecture, build, and deployment.
Built
Public site with verified clinic directory, guided assessments, workforce and marketplace foundations; a multi-tenant clinic app; an internal operator console. All three run on one shared Supabase backend.
Status
Live at novalyteai.com. Founder-led clinic outreach began July 2026.

Revenue Command Center

A single internal control plane so one operator can run clinic acquisition, demand intelligence, workforce exchange, revenue telemetry, and platform administration without jumping between a dozen tools.

Role
Sole designer and engineer.
Built
Next.js App Router app (React 19, TypeScript) with API routes on the shared Supabase/Postgres backend. Covers a clinic CRM with a deal pipeline, an outreach and Call Center workspace with in-browser calling (Twilio Voice, Telnyx) and Vapi practice calls, clinic research and website enrichment (Firecrawl, OpenAI), patient-lead routing, clinic verification, and a Supabase Edge Function outbox that sends email through Resend and files copies to Google Drive.

Multi-tenant Clinic Dashboard

The clinic-facing app for Novalyte partner clinics, at clinic.novalyteai.com. Clinic teams work the leads Novalyte sends them, manage their pipeline, patients, schedule, team, and directory listing, and every clinic sees only its own data.

Role
Designed and built end-to-end.
Built
Supabase Auth with role-based clinic memberships. Row Level Security and SECURITY DEFINER RPCs enforce tenant isolation. A config guard refuses to run with a privileged key in the browser. An integration test signs in as two seeded clinics and proves neither can read the other's data.
Status
Deployed to clinic.novalyteai.com on Vercel.

AI lead discovery, enrichment & CRM automation

The GTM layer behind Novalyte's founder-led outreach: workflows that take raw market data and turn it into CRM-ready, prioritized accounts.

Role
Designed and built the workflows.
Built
Lead capture, waterfall enrichment (Clay, Apollo), qualification scoring, routing logic, and CRM writeback, using LLM structured outputs (Pydantic, Instructor) to validate records before they reach the CRM. Also packaged as a demo "AI Lead Discovery & Enrichment Engine" and a productized CRM Automation Audit & AI Workflow Blueprint.

Geospatialabs: geospatial decision support

Preliminary site intelligence for California solar and battery storage (BESS) development. Each brief brings grid, interconnection, parcel, permitting, and environmental context into one source-backed screen, so teams can vet candidate sites before committing deeper engineering or legal spend.

Role
Founder. Conceived, built, and deployed it.
Built
The public site, an interactive Mapbox evidence viewer for candidate parcels, fire-hazard zones, and grid tie-ins, and a nine-section brief format that keeps sourced findings, unknowns, and conflicts separate.

CEQAnet Opportunity Desk

An internal research desk for GeoSpatia Labs. It pulls public project filings from California's CEQAnet environmental-review database and turns them into scored, evidence-backed leads for Geospatialabs outreach.

Role
Designed and built it.
Built
A Python scraper and Express API that parse CEQAnet filings, classify the applicant (private developer or government) and the development type, and score GeoSpatia fit from 0 to 100 with Gemini, falling back to a rule-based scorer when no model is available. A React workspace for lead review, pipeline tracking, fit reasoning, evidence, and dossiers, with outreach drafted for manual one-to-one sending.

ProofReach: evidence-backed research & outreach

An AI research and outreach workspace. Give it a role posting or company URL and it extracts the opportunity, researches the company, analyzes fit against a structured profile, and drafts tailored materials and outreach. Every output shows where it came from.

Role
Designed and built it.
Built
Next.js API routes that call Gemini with JSON response schemas for extraction, company research, fit analysis, materials, and interview prep. Optional Firecrawl scraping grounds research in live page content, and Hunter domain search adds verification status to contacts. A privacy guardrail keeps names, emails, and resume text out of outside research tools, and provenance badges show whether a claim is provider-verified, AI-generated, or unverified.

Novalyte Investor Finder

A fundraising workspace built for Novalyte. It finds and researches angel investors for pre-seed health-tech AI, ranks them against Novalyte's own context, and drafts and sends personalized outreach.

Role
Designed and built it.
Built
A React and Express app behind an access-code gate. Investor discovery, research, and contact lookup run through Gemini with Google Search grounding. A scoring model ranks investors by how their focus and thesis overlap with a local vault of Novalyte notes and documents. Includes a D3 investor network graph, an email composer, Gemini-drafted follow-ups, and sending through Resend or SMTP.
