Atlassian AI Whiteboard Tool

The client from Atlassian

A whiteboard organization tool using AI to convert messy meeting whiteboard images into structured Confluence pages.

JavaScript, React, React Router, Material-UI, Vite, Node.js, Express, Drizzle ORM, Upstash Redis, AI SDK, Zod, Docker, GitHub Actions, Linux VPS
  • Responsible for frontend architecture design and initial development, built responsive user interface using React, Material-UI, and Vite, and completed core functions such as image upload and content preview editing.
  • Independently undertook backend API service development and implementation, built RESTful API with MVC + Service architecture based on Node.js and Express, utilized Drizzle ORM for type-safe data persistence operations. Completed AI agent workflow using AI SDK + Zod to provide structured multi-model intelligent image analysis functionality.
