As co-founder and CTO of Bursity, I helped turn an idea into a working MVP that connected students with financial awards.

I worked on everything from gathering requirements and mapping out user and sponsor workflows to system design, database architecture, and AWS infrastructure. I also created technical documentation, built prototypes, and coordinated development with three summer students.

I’ve always liked products that solve a very specific problem instead of trying to do everything.

So for the Lovable Challenge, I picked a simple question that event-tent rental businesses hear all the time:

“Can I book a tent for my wedding?”

The problem is… a tent can’t really be booked until you know if the whole event will work.

How many guests? How much usable space? Tables? Dance floor? Bar? Stage? Will the layout actually fit? Can the crew set it up and pick it up on time?

Usually, the owner has to figure all of that out manually through messages, calls and calendar checking.

So I built TentFit — a spatial booking experience for event tent rentals.

The customer starts by planning the event, then maps out the space and everything they want inside it. TentFit checks the layout and highlights conflicts.

And instead of just saying “doesn’t fit,” it helps solve the problem:

Switch the tent. Move the layout. Remove an element.

Once everything works, TentFit checks the logistics and turns the final setup into a booking.

The goal was simple:

Make the customer’s decision easier, and make the owner’s job easier.

The flow is basically:

FIT → FEASIBLE → BOOKED

I had a lot of fun building the spatial planning part of this one. X/Twitter post: https://x.com/brjanov/status/2105630218492731501?s=20
