Inventory Integrity: Custom 3-Ply Loss Prevention
The Challenge:
Annapolis Lighting faced significant inventory shrinkage and untraceable losses across six retail locations due to a lack of visibility into defective merchandise and vendor returns.
The Solution:
I designed and implemented a proprietary Defective Merchandise Tracking System. Using a 3-ply reconciliation logic (Product/Vendor/Buyer), I created a closed-loop audit trail that accounted for every unit from the moment of defect to the final vendor credit.
The Impact:
- 15% Reduction in Shrinkage: Reclaimed lost revenue through precise inventory tracking.
- 100% Audit Visibility: Provided leadership with real-time data on vendor performance and product quality.
- Scalable: Deployed across all 6 locations and the central warehouse.

Reducing Cart Abandonment through Conversion-First UX
The Problem:
High cart abandonment due to cluttered interfaces and complex checkout flows in traditional food apps.
The Solution:
I redesigned the user journey to minimize "Decision Fatigue" and maximize conversion through:
Streamlined Discovery: A clean grid layout allowing users to find meals in under 3 seconds.
Frictionless Cart: A transparent "My Cart" experience to reduce drop-offs at the final stage.
Conversion-First UI: Strategic use of high-contrast CTAs and clear visual hierarchy for faster checkouts.
The Result:
A developer-ready mobile interface focused on User Retention and Business Growth.

top class work
Fiore Digital Services (FDS) needed a digital home matching their technical caliber. I designed a three-page site using a "tech-noir" aesthetic—bold typography, 3D accents, and clean grids.
The Goal: Bridge the gap between technical authority and creative flair to drive "Book a Call" conversions.
Challenges: Delivering a premium UI on a tight timeline while balancing heavy 3D assets with visual breathing room to avoid clutter.
Solutions: Research shows 75% of users judge credibility via design, so I prioritized social proof and a frictionless contact flow. I used a modular grid to make complex services feel digestible.
Outcome: FDS now projects a top-tier image that justifies premium rates and shortens the sales cycle. I proved that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication when balancing speed with high-end quality.
How I reclaimed 15+ hours/week for a Service Business using a Custom "Operations OS"
Most businesses don't have a software problem they have a "friction" problem.
I recently finished a verified project for Cascade Water Services where we moved away from "manual admin" and toward a centralized Operations Operating System.
The Results:
15+ hours/week saved in manual admin.
40% faster data retrieval for PMs.
100% mobile-sync for field teams.
That “friction problem vs software problem” point is spot on. A lot of businesses don’t need more tools — they need better systems tying everything together.
