SageAIO

A COVID-era startup I built around retail automation, restock tracking, and fast product turnaround.

I founded SageAIO during COVID to automate restock detection and purchase timing for high-demand retail products. I led the product end to end across UI/UX, engineering direction, operations, and growth, using Go and Python for automation and Vue.js for the interface. The work required balancing technical reliability with fast UX decisions as demand changed quickly. I also led branding and outreach to grow distribution alongside product development. The outcome was a functioning startup product and a community that grew to roughly 10,000 followers.
