Poetic App

Ian Scilipoti

A personal project exploring vector databases, Docker containers, and the end-to-end process of designing deployed, scalable software.

Poetic is a work-in-progress app and recommendation engine for discovering classic poetry. It’s designed around the experience of social media apps where swiping is the primary interaction.

My role:

  1. Design.
  2. Software Engineering.

Accomplishments:

  1. Designed responsive layouts in Figma.
  2. Set up Docker containers for express server API and Postgres database.
  3. Vectorized six thousand poems using nomic-embed-text model running locally with Ollama.
