Reservations & Merchant Operations — HadTo
Merchant and reservation subsystem developed as part of HadTo.
The workflow includes business onboarding and profile setup, merchant operational tooling, reservation management and a customer-facing booking/checkout flow with offering selection, payment/hold structure and cancellation-policy handling.
The work spans customer-facing product flows, merchant administration, backend state and operational workflows designed to connect places and businesses with native actions inside the wider HadTo product.

When a section relies on animation, I now prototype it in Figma motion instead of writing it out.

Shopify Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation 🛒
Ever wondered how many potential orders an online store could miss when customers add products to their cart but leave without completing checkout?
I built an abandoned cart automation workflow using Activepieces, Shopify, Google Gemini, Gmail, and WhatsApp Business.
⚙️ How It Works
🛒 Cart Trigger: Detects an abandoned checkout event from Shopify.
🔀 Conditional Routing: Routes the workflow based on configured conditions.
🤖 AI-Powered Messaging: Gemini generates a personalized reminder message.
💬 WhatsApp Reminder: Sends a cart reminder through WhatsApp Business.
📧 Email Reminder: Sends a follow-up email to encourage the customer to complete checkout.
💡 How It Can Help E-commerce Businesses
Remind customers about products left in their carts.
Reduce repetitive manual follow-up work.
Make customer communication more consistent.
Create an opportunity to recover potentially lost sales.
Tools Used: Activepieces | Shopify | Google Gemini | Gmail | WhatsApp Business
Project Type: Personal Automation Project
I built this workflow to demonstrate how automation can support abandoned cart recovery for Shopify and D2C businesses.
Interested in automating your store's customer follow-ups? Let's connect.
The 30–60 minute delay then 24-hour follow-up is a sensible cadence. The part I would harden next is the stop conditions: once the cart converts or the customer replies, every channel should cancel, and WhatsApp especially needs a clear opt-in trail before the first send....
VentureLens — Venture Lens is an AI agent that turns your raw idea into a good investment using evidence-based sparring.
Instead of putting you through a stale 20-questions test, it asks the one question until it gets your usual answer, makes a short list of recommendations, then combines your data with Qloo’s taste intel and place profiles to create a full, top-to-bottom business brief you can read and download right away as markdown.
