Research AI SaaSPrivate testingPublic case notes, private source
Citely
Built a citation intelligence product using academic APIs, PDF parsing, RAG, citation matching, Supabase auth/storage/RLS, and Stripe credits.
Problem
Students and researchers need to verify whether a cited paper exists, whether it supports a claim, and where stronger sources can be found.
Role
Built the product architecture for citation search, citation audit, embeddings, payments, and worker deployment.
Public evidence
- Long-form product architecture note on the public site
- Project screenshot used as portfolio evidence
- Stack and workflow boundaries documented as a private testing case
Verification boundary
- The source code and live workspace are private.
- Billing and user-data claims should be treated as architecture scope unless shown in a private review.
- Public evidence focuses on the research trust problem and implementation approach.
No private documents, user uploads, payment records, source code, or deployment URLs are exposed.
