AdTech Creator Monetization Platform

Context

A $150K-funded startup monetizing short-form creators needed the campaign pipeline itself automated: validate the video, apply the branded overlay, publish to the right channels, pay the creator.

The Hard Part

Campaign turnaround was measured in weeks because every step was manual; the platform had to collapse validation, rendering, publishing, and payouts into one automated flow.

What I Built

• AI video validation using Gemini
• FFmpeg-based overlay rendering
• Direct publishing to TikTok and YouTube
• Creator payouts via Stripe Connect
• Next.js application tying the pipeline together
