What was needed
A premium dog-care business in New York City needed one system for everyone involved: clients booking and paying for care, staff running bookings and payroll, and an owner managing it all day to day.
What I owned
All of it. I designed the brand and the interface, then built the front-end, the .NET API, the Azure infrastructure, the AI assistant, and the mobile app on my own.
What was delivered
The client portal is live, with location-based pricing and an AI assistant the owner uses in daily operations. The marketing site is live behind an under-construction notice, and the mobile app is in store prep.
