Description

CentPoll is a political polling platform that lets campaigns build surveys and reach voters on any channel — text, voice calls, or the web. It pairs a live results dashboard with secure per-client logins and usage-based billing.

Tech Used

Built the survey builder and multi-channel outreach with Node.js and Twilio. The live results dashboard runs on WebSockets, Postgres, and AWS, with secure per-client logins and Stripe billing so clients pay only for completed responses. AI agents on OpenAI with ElevenLabs voice cloning automate voice and text outreach, letting a small team run agentic polling workflows at scale.

Key takeaway

Improved the product through weekly pollster feedback and brought on the first paying customers before launch — a lesson in building toward real users from day one.
