Strella
Early-stage startup building an AI-powered customer research platform that runs AI-moderated interviews at scale and synthesises them into actionable insights for product, design and UX research teams.
- Worked on the team building the real-time voice AI agent (LiveKit) that conducts the platform's interviews, including multi-language speech via OpenAI, Google and Gemini.
- Designed its cloud deployment and autoscaling on GKE — consolidated CI/CD for staging and production, with horizontal autoscaling driven by active concurrent calls rather than CPU/memory.
- Contributed across the Next.js product to interview, recording and playback features — including LiveKit egress lifecycle tracking and the GCS recording & transcription pipeline (AssemblyAI).
- Built application-wide LLM cost telemetry, instrumenting model call sites across the app for per-call cost tracking.
