Sage Ideas Academy: a real product, not a course folder.

A live learning platform I designed, built and operate — with a lesson player, an AI tutor wired to a real model, hands-on interactive labs, Stripe billing, and certificates you can verify from a public page. It runs on the same engineering system as Nexural. Every figure below was counted from the codebase.

See it live · the running platform
The live Sage Ideas Academy at sageideas.dev/academy — the running learning platform I built and operate.

Not a mockup — the platform is live at sageideas.dev/academy, running the lesson player, AI tutor, labs, and certificate verification described below.

The build · a full learning SaaS

Everything a paid platform needs, shipped.

Platform

Course catalog, lesson player, member dashboard and admin — on Next.js with Supabase Postgres and custom JWT sessions.

The AI tutor

A tutor endpoint wired to OpenAI through the Vercel AI SDK — a shipped AI feature students actually use, not a screenshot of one.

Billing

Real Stripe subscriptions with signature-verified webhooks — the boring, load-bearing plumbing that separates a product from a demo.

Reliability

Sentry error tracking, Vercel analytics and speed insights — because a paid product that breaks silently loses subscribers.

What makes it rare · the parts most platforms fake

Verifiable certificates and hands-on labs.

Certificates you can verify

Completion certificates carry a cryptographically generated number and a public verify page — each is checkable at /academy/verify/<id>, so authenticity is confirmable rather than assumed. Most platforms hand out a PDF; this one hands out proof.

Interactive labs, not just video

Learners practice in real tools: a risk simulator, an order-flow drill, a decision-gate exercise, a voice tutor and a sim-lab — each a built, wired route, not a slide.

A content-quality factory

Roughly 180 automated scripts author, seed, machine-prove, semantically review and quality-gate the content — the same engineering rigor I bring to code, applied to curriculum.

The bigger picture

One operator, two live products, one system.

The Academy and Nexural share a codebase and a standard of proof. When you hire me you're not getting someone who read about shipping AI products — you're getting someone who runs two of them, alone, and can show you the receipts.
