- Engineered deep facial likeness preservation pipelines with customizable business attire, office lighting, and corporate backdrops.
- Integrated Stripe Checkout and credit-based payment flows for enterprise teams and individual professionals.
- Optimized cloud GPU processing queues and image transformation pipelines for high-throughput portrait synthesis.
Key decisions
