Profile

Software that fits how businesses actually work.

I design systems end to end: relational databases in PostgreSQL and MySQL, REST APIs and business logic in C# and ASP.NET Core, and responsive front ends in React and TypeScript — deployed on Railway, Vercel, Supabase and Cloudflare.

My flagship product, a live multi-user point-of-sale and inventory system, is shaped by more than eight years inside a large retail operation, so I build software that fits how sales, stock and cash actually move through a business. I communicate clearly with non-technical users and take ownership of systems in production.

MKLabs POS — Point-of-Sale & Inventory System

Problem
Small and mid-sized trading businesses need accurate sales, stock and user control without costly enterprise software.
Solution

Result
A live, cloud-hosted system covering sales processing, product and inventory management, and reporting — with stock and reconciliation logic drawn from years of hands-on retail stock control.
