Lumina Web3
Two systems that keep pricing ahead of competitors and product picks ahead of the trend curve.
THE SITUATION
Two different blind spots, same root cause — decisions made without enough visibility into a fast-moving market. On one side, a Shopify store setting prices with no real view of what competitors were charging. On the other, e-commerce and dropshipping marketing lives or dies on catching a trending product early. By the time a trend is obvious on your own feed, it's usually already saturated and the margin is gone. Watching TikTok, Pinterest, and Amazon by hand every day isn't something a person can do reliably at scale.
WHAT I BUILT
Price monitoring and competitor comparison engine
Pulls live product data from Shopify, cross-references it against competitor pricing using real-time web research, runs both through an LLM for analysis, then logs results to Google Sheets and alerts the team on Slack.

Trend detection and sourcing system
Scrapes trending product signals across TikTok, Amazon, and Pinterest in parallel, processes the data through custom transformation logic, then cross-references what's trending against CJ Dropshipping's catalog to surface which products are actually sourceable.

WHAT CHANGED
Two systems working opposite ends of the same problem — one keeps pricing decisions ahead of the competition, the other keeps product decisions ahead of the trend curve. Both replace hours of manual feed-scrolling and price-checking with a steady feed of decision-ready data.
