Shipped a self-hosted Dealer Management System for a car dealership — inventory, CRM, sales, and installment payments, running entirely offline on one Windows PC in the dealership office. No cloud, no internet connection required to operate.
Covers the full vehicle lifecycle (lead → inspection → listing → reservation → sale → delivery) with an 8-stage CRM pipeline, a quotation → booking → payment → sale → delivery workflow that generates real PDF documents, and installment selling with auto-allocated oldest-due-first payments.
Locked down by 9 roles and ~45 server-side permissions, with an immutable audit log of every change. Built solo with Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and TanStack Query — replacing spreadsheets and paper registers with one system the whole floor works from.

I built MobiFix Nairobi : A Mobile auto care company.
I rebuilt the moment an inbound “Can I book with you?” becomes “You’re booked.”
MobiFix Nairobi is a fictional mobile automotive service business built around one simple problem: booking vehicle services often means back-and-forth messages, checking availability, coordinating technicians, confirming locations, and handling payments manually.
I designed the experience so the customer can:
→ Choose a service
→ Select their vehicle
→ Enter their location
→ Pick an available date and time
→ Add their details
→ Review the booking
→ Complete payment
→ Receive a booking confirmation and code
Behind the scenes, the business gets a real dashboard with bookings, calendar, customers, services, technicians, availability, analytics, and website management — all backed by real data.
The goal was to make the entire journey feel less like “requesting an appointment” and more like simply getting booked.
Built with Lovable and Lovable Cloud.

Looking great...

Previously I had an SVG mask of my logo in the center with my showreel behind it, but this had a couple of issues. So yesterday I pushed it further and I created a 3D variation, video playing inside it, glass refraction and it's even more beautiful when you click into it.
Take a look; www.grilledpixels.com
the glass refraction on the 3d mark is a cool touch. did you build the interaction with three.js?
This is a production-ready Next.js boilerplate with authentication, billing, AI integration, and an admin panel already wired together and tested end-to-end — not just scaffolded, actually working with real Stripe and Razorpay test transactions, real webhook handling, and a real Postgres database via Prisma.
The real test transactions are a useful proof point. I'd show a failed payment and its retry in the demo too, so someone can see whether account access stays in sync when billing goes wrong.
