Nkosi Felix, Senior Data Platform Engineer

Enterprise Deliverables

Product and commerce work, and client work, end to end.

GetBetterAI (AI career/product platform) and RetailVitamin (independent commerce build) are active product lines. Feel Easy Around Travel is a client project built for a paying client who owns the brand. NkosiFelix.com is the portfolio alongside all three.

GetBetterAI.com — Live AI Career Platform

Founder-led career platform: coaching, resume/LinkedIn strategy, interview prep, templates, case studies, referrals, and AI-assisted workflow consulting.

nkosifelix.com is the public career-evidence layer; GetBetterAI is the product. It lets recruiters inspect the engineering work without access to private product data, user accounts, or internal systems.

GetBetterAI homepage hero: AI-powered strategy to land a role, raise, or promotion

What I built

  • React 19 + Vite single-page surface: sticky nav, hero, coaching paths, templates, blog, case studies, referral, and conversion CTAs
  • Career accelerator quiz routing job-search pain points into a recommendation and lead-capture flow
  • External workflow handoffs for Outlook booking, Microsoft Forms intake, and external plan links -- no custom payment processing in the portfolio or static bundle
  • Client-side analytics events and localStorage-backed session state for page views, quiz completion, email signup, and booking initiation

Product & business design

  • Positioned around practical career outcomes: resumes, LinkedIn, interviews, raises, promotions, and operator workflow consulting
  • Offer ladder from free discovery and starter templates to paid coaching plans and interview preparation packages
  • Content system for reusable templates, articles, case studies, referrals, and coaching pages instead of a single static landing page

GetBetterAI trust section, daily work CTA, and free career starter templates

Limits: Screenshots and architecture describe the public product surface and repo-backed build; no private leads, payments, coaching records, or customer data shown. AI personalization is bounded and falls back when not configured.

RetailVitamin — Independent D2C Commerce Build

Owner-operated D2C supplement storefront -- architecture, storefront, and compliance-aware content designed, built, and shipped independently.

RetailVitamin storefront homepage: 'Build your daily stack with RetailVitamin' hero with a storefront photo

What I built

  • Shopify storefront + a Next.js preview app for cart/purchase-flow UI changes (interface preview only, no real payment processing)
  • GitHub Actions checks on every change: deterministic quality gates, a commit-message policy check, dependency updates (Dependabot), and repo-hygiene checks
  • A scoped "remote hotfix" pipeline: an allowlisted set of theme files can be patched via a validated, receipt-generating pipeline with an explicit human confirmation step
  • Theme preview and production deploy workflows are kept separate, each with its own validation pass

Product & business design

  • Compliance-aware supplement copy standard: no disease-treatment claims, no FDA-approval language, no unsupported health-outcome promises
  • Trust-first storefront layout: a Certificate of Analysis per SKU, published GMP facility documentation, and a stated 30-day return policy
  • Positioning built around transparency ("build your daily stack") rather than supplement-industry hype language

Limits: Public storefront and public compliance/trust copy only. No customer, order, or payment data is shown or referenced.

Feel Easy Around Travel — Client Engagement

A group-travel planning business built for a paying client who owns and operates the brand, shown with their approval.

Feel Easy Around Travel homepage: 'Luxury-feeling group trips, handled from strategy to delivery' hero

What I built

  • A Next.js site on Vercel: a public marketing/booking surface plus a separate owner-login area
  • A "Strategy Session" booking flow converting a group-trip inquiry into a scoped engagement, not a generic contact form
  • Per-trip group guide pages automatically retire after the trip's access period ends, instead of staying live as stale content

Product & business design

  • Positioning built around removing planning stress for couples and friend groups booking Caribbean and Mexico trips, not the technology behind it
  • A structured "strategy to delivery" model: destination direction, itinerary planning, and group coordination as one clear path, not an open-ended consulting offer
  • Destination catalog scoped to a specific, defensible set of Caribbean and Mexico locations rather than an unbounded "anywhere" promise

Limits: Client account systems, pricing, and private trip details are not shown. This describes the engineering and product-design work only, with the client's approval to name the public site.
