Experience — Apr 2026 – now

Zee Foods, LLC

Software Project Lead — building the software spine of a wholesale food business that ran on phone calls and paper.

The mandate

Zee Foods moves product to restaurants and markets across the region. When I arrived, orders lived in text threads, inventory in a spreadsheet, and the day's deliveries in the driver's head. The brief: replace that with software the staff would actually use, without pausing the business to do it.

What shipped

The order desk

TypeScript · Postgres · in production

A single console where staff take wholesale orders against live inventory. It replaced the phone-and-paper flow: an order that took minutes of transcription now takes seconds, and stock can no longer be sold twice.

Route sheets

PDF generation · in production

The day's orders compile into per-driver run sheets — stops ordered, cases counted, invoices attached. What the drivers used to reconstruct each morning is now printed before they arrive.

The ledger

Reporting · in progress

Sales and inventory roll up into a weekly view the owners read on Mondays. The business can now see which accounts grow and which products sit — questions that used to be answered by feel.
