I take product ideas from research to working software — solo, fast, mobile‑first.
A mobile-first installable web app that gives families a living inventory of their kids' clothes — what fits, what's outgrown, what's in storage — with resale as the natural exit. Photo in, AI vision catalogues the item; no manual data entry.
Stage Working build, pre-launch. Next: 5 test families through a full season change. Market: Latvia → Baltics → US.
Not every idea deserves to be built. Each investigation ends with a decision I can defend.
Hypothesis: Latvian equipment-rental firms bleed margin on untracked tools. Mapped the rental market and mid-size portfolios, analysed the profit killers, wrote the discovery script for operator interviews.
Verdict Parked after the research phase — the economics didn't clear the bar at current fleet sizes. The research stands ready if the market shifts.
Prototype exploration of tap-to-act experiences on iPhone — how far NFC can carry a product interaction without an app install.
Verdict Learning input — the physical-to-digital bridge feeds directly into future builds.
Market sizing, competitor maps, customer conversations — before any code. A documented no-go is a win, not a failure.
AI-assisted development: Supabase backends, PWA-first frontends, vision models where they earn their keep. Idea to working product in weeks.
Every project gets instrumented from day one. I track my own numbers on a live dashboard — retention and usage, not downloads.
Ship, iterate, or kill — stated plainly, with the evidence attached. Honest stage labels over momentum language.
I'm a builder from Latvia who likes real problems more than pitch decks. I test my products on my own family first — Skapis started with my kids' actual closet. Business first, technology second: if the numbers don't work, the code doesn't matter.
