    About

    This platform has some technical projects that I do for fun/learning, but also hosts production apps used for Sernia Capital's in-house property managment operations. Sernia Capital is a residential real estate business that uses AI and automation to streamline various aspects of property mangagement, including tenant communications, maintenance requests, and general operations.

    Property Management Tools

    Below are some of the production apps I've built and maintain for Sernia Capital.

    Contact Syncing

    A serverless cron job that syncs contact information from our source of truth Google Sheet to a Neon Postgres database and to our OpenPhone Voice/SMS Platform..

    Tenant Mass Messaging

    Preview app here: Tenant Mass Messaging
    Simple app to send SMS messages to all tenants in selected buildings. OpenPhone doesn't support sending to groups, so this app uses their API to achieve this. Messages are sent securely with password protection.

    Rental Listing Email Auto-Replies via Agentic AI

    Preview app here: AI Email Responder Preview
    This app auto-responds to inbound leasing inquiries from our Zillow ads. It will have context on all our properties via RAG, current rental listings (via Zillow API or scraping), as well as our listing agent's calendar availability & scheduling preferences. It will monitor our Gmail Workspace inbox for new inquiries, and will answer basic questions, will scan requestors Zillow profile and clarify any potential issues (e.g. if they have dogs but our listing is dog-free), and propose meeting times.

    SMS Emergency Routing via Agentic AI (coming soon)

    This will monitor all incoming SMS mesages to Sernia Capital's phone number, and will escalate them as needed if it detects the issue is urgent (e.g. water leaks, fire, police activity, etc.). It will kick off a call to a dedicated emergency number that calls and texts all owners/property managers and can bypass Do Not Disturb settings during off hours.
