Case studies
Building a Profitable SaaS at the Intersection of Outlook and CRM
Pipelook is an Outlook add-in that brings Pipedrive CRM directly into Microsoft Outlook, allowing sales teams to view and manage contacts, deals, activities, and notes without leaving their inbox. I have designed, built, launched, and operated this product, now generating revenue on auto-pilot.
Mieland: Headless E-Commerce Platform for a Premium Honey Brand
In 2024, I worked with Medusco Group Limited, a New Zealand honey producer, to evolve their headless e-commerce platform, Mieland. The engagement started around discrete front-end and CMS tasks, but quickly expanded into broader product and systems work across content operations, customer experience, SEO, and internal workflows.
Optimizing Print-on-Demand Production at Riverr.app
In late 2023, I worked with Riverr.app, a SaaS platform operating in the print-on-demand space. My work focused on improving how printable assets were prepared, arranged, and previewed before production — with the goal of reducing material waste while making the customization workflow faster and easier for end users.
Building a Scalable Icon Platform for a Technical Diagramming SaaS
OneModel is a SaaS platform that enables engineering teams to design technical diagrams. The product relied on thousands of cloud provider icons but there wasn't a scalable workflow for maintaining or consuming them. The initial engagement was focused on building an automated icon pipeline. Over time, the scope expanded into product development, backend services, internal tooling, and SEO infrastructure.
