Why I'm Different

Most hospitality tech is built by developers who've never worked a 14-hour shift during a sold-out weekend. Most hotel managers can't write a line of code.

I've done both. I've cleaned rooms, managed bars, run kitchens, handled complaints at 2am, balanced P&Ls, and led teams of 50+. Now I build software that solves real problems because I've lived them.
