01 / The build

Behind the project.

End-to-end B2C product: a customer uploads a personal photo, a generative-AI pipeline (Gemini API) restyles it into a 3D character, a 3D model is generated and shown as a preview the customer approves before ordering, and approved figurines are 3D-printed in full color and delivered. Python backend services and a TypeScript storefront run on Google Cloud with separate dev, staging and production environments. Operations include an internal order-management admin panel, Sentry production monitoring, n8n marketing automations and a Meta ads funnel.
