What I'm Building
A family of software products
I build software products through my company Minimal and distribute them through We UC. The flagship is Olatti, a unified communications platform for small and medium businesses, built by a 20-person dev team with no outside investment.
Alongside it: Quenta turns a photo of a receipt into a posted Xero transaction, Evalua checks call quality automatically, The Scheduler books field appointments from inside Zoho CRM, and Coet, still early, gives businesses AI employees.
