    🎯 Mission: Digitize dance school management by replacing Excel/paper with a complete cloud solution.

    💡 Challenge: Schools managed everything manually (registrations, payments, scheduling) with the associated problems: no real-time synchronization, missed payments, complex permission management, no student overview.

    ✅ Solution delivered from scratch:

    Complete development of the SaaS platform (architecture, backend, frontend) with SvelteKit and Supabase. Custom design system (Shadcn + Tailwind) for a modern and consistent interface.

    Key features developed:
    • Comprehensive management of orders and payments with automated installments (Stripe integration)
    • Granular roles and permissions system
    • Management of classes, registrations, and dynamic scheduling

    💡 Challenge: Industrial after-sales services were losing time and money with limited communication and loss of know-how with each problem resolution. A solution was needed to facilitate communication (video calls, photos, videos, chat, WhatsApp) while retaining expertise for future interventions.

    ✅ Solution delivered from scratch:

    Complete development of the SaaS platform (architecture, backend, frontend) with React, Next.js, and Node.js. Advanced AI system with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to power the intelligent assistant.

    • Integration of LLMs for intelligent assistance and automatic translation
    • Real-time omnichannel communication via Twilio: video, chat, SMS, WhatsApp
    • Complete ticketing system with fine-grained permission management
    • Real-time annotation tool on video streams for remote assistance

    🎨 Support beyond code:

    • Product vision and challenging strategic decisions (sparring partner to the CEO)
    • Recruitment and technical team management (interns, freelancers)
    • Technical lead: coordination and skill development of the team
    • UX Design and definition of user journeys
    • Proposing ideas for product priorities

    📈 Result: 30+ paying satisfied clients. Operational platform with a successful handover upon my departure (support until successor recruitment).

Very good experience with Martin. He quickly understood the company's challenges and issues, demonstrated autonomy while adapting very well to our context. He took feedback into account, questioned himself, and adjusted his proposals to best meet our needs. Communication was fluid and simple throughout the mission. We would gladly repeat the experience :)
