An AI chatbot for small business websites that answers only from the business's own pages: prices, service area, booking and policies. When the answer is not written down, it says so plainly and takes the customer's details for the owner, by email or into a Google Sheet. It is labelled as an AI assistant, goes on any site with one script tag, and runs in the client's own accounts with caps on messages and spend. Try the live demo, a made-up cleaning company: ask a price, then ask something it could not know.

A self-initiated product: a booking and ordering system for a billiard club in Tbilisi. I designed it in Figma from scratch and built all of it, from the interface to the database.
Guests call the club and nobody answers. They arrive and every table is taken. They want food and wait at the bar. Side Pocket moves all of that to the website.
Key decisions
No guest accounts. A booking needs a name and a phone number. The guest gets a private link to move, extend or cancel. The link is the account.
A 15-minute hold. Guests check in with "I'm at the table." A table nobody claims goes to the waitlist, and the next person gets the same 15 minutes.
Ordering tied to the table. Guests order from their phone during the game, add time themselves and see the bill as it grows.
One screen for staff. Every table's state for the night, late arrivals and orders to serve pinned to the top, bookings and orders boards, alerts in Telegram.
A Telegram bot. It understands "table for 4 tonight at 8" in English or Russian and finishes the booking with buttons.
Scope
Guest site with live availability, single and group booking, waitlist, private booking page, table page with menu, cart and bill, email confirmations and reminders, staff dashboard, Telegram bot.
Stack
React 19, TanStack Start, TanStack Router and Query, Tailwind 4, Radix UI, Supabase Postgres with row-level security, pg_cron, Brevo and Resend, Telegram Bot API, Vitest.
Business rules sit in plain functions, separate from the UI and the database, with 73 tests. Only server functions touch the database.
My role
Product design, UI design, front-end, back-end, database, integrations.

🍝 A little something I’ve been cooking recently.
Had the opportunity to work with Secret Sauce Agency on bringing their new digital experience to life.
The goal: translate a bold creative identity into a website that feels just as distinctive, combining design, motion and development into one smooth experience.
Really enjoyed bringing this one to life.
Here’s a quick look at the result 👇
