THE METHOD
From Problem to Product
Not AI demos. A repeatable way of turning something that wastes time into something that saves it.
- 01
Problem
A repetitive real-world problem appears in daily work.
- 02
Idea
Look for a better workflow rather than a faster workaround.
- 03
AI
Use AI-assisted thinking and development to shape the solution.
- 04
Build
Turn the idea into a working application.
- 05
Test
Use it against real requirements, not imagined ones.
- 06
Improve
Release better versions as the work teaches you more.

THE STORY
The Journey
How the work moved from small experiments to working systems.
Where it started
Ideas & Experiments
Noticing the same problems coming back week after week, and starting to ask whether they had to.
First useful things
Business Calculators
Small tools that answered one costing or planning question properly, instead of being re-derived by hand each time.
Beyond the calculator
Operational Tools
Tools that hold records rather than just compute an answer — consumption, billing, loading plans, field reports.
WHO IS BEHIND IT
Manager, Merchandising. AI Builder. Problem Solver.
I work in apparel merchandising and use AI, technology and product thinking to transform practical business problems into usable digital solutions.
Merchandising
Experience across merchandising, costing, production, shipment and factory coordination — understanding real apparel business workflows from the inside.
AI & Automation
Using AI-assisted development to move an idea to a working tool quickly, without waiting for a development team.
Product Thinking
Starting with a problem, not a technology. Identifying friction in daily work and turning it into something usable.
