## About

```text
At Karrota, I own architecture, delivery, and production operations for Thumber, Hopinion, and Gjurma. I built Thumber’s backend and moved the agency from Podio, reconciling every invoice and bringing chat, time tracking, finance, and the client portal onto the platform.

At Ideal Dev, I conceived, built, and launched Toong as its sole engineer, from the API and dashboard to native apps, billing, and infrastructure. I’ve also built products spanning e-commerce, civic tech, HR, and AI, with a focus on backend architecture and applied AI that works in real business workflows.
