46 tests passing with strict type checking (mypy –strict)
8 validated MVPs in notebooks before migration to production
5 architectural layers implemented with complete DI

Impact

FocusCoach addresses a common problem among entrepreneurs: project abandonment due to lack of focus and structure. By personalizing coaching according to DISC personality, the platform offers strategies that resonate with each user’s cognitive style.

This project combines knowledge from organizational psychology (DISC methodology), software engineering (Clean Architecture), and artificial intelligence (LLMs + RAG) to create an innovative personal productivity tool.
