Experience

1. Founder & Engineer

   RFQTrace

   2026 – Present

   Building a multi-tenant RFQ and supplier quote management platform for small-to-mid-size manufacturers — the segment priced out of enterprise procurement suites.

   Key Achievements:

   • •Built multi-tenant architecture with organisation-level data isolation and role-based access control across 5 roles
   • •Structured quote comparison on first-class fields (unit price, lead time, MOQ, payment terms) rather than free text
   • •One-link supplier portals that produce structured data instead of PDF attachments someone has to transcribe
   • •Offline-first caching with Dexie.js synced against Firebase RTDB, so the tool stays usable on plant floors and supplier visits
