01 / DEALERSHIP · THE TRANSFORMATION

Most people wait for the keys. I found a login sheet on a piece of paper. Then I rebuilt the engine.

When I joined an equipment dealership in Québec on January 26, 2026, my full-time role spanned sales, marketing and operations coordination. My handover was four pages of paper with missing information. Neglected agency-managed services restricted access and delayed basic changes.

I took over office IT, company-domain email and local open-source deployment. I designed and built a custom ERP connecting customers, inventory, rentals, service and documents, and built feeds for our website, listing platforms, shopping catalogs and social product catalogs.

I build the tools, rewrite the infrastructure and clear the path forward.

Commercial negotiation

BeforeUS$1,000per month
After$300per month + six months free

I enforced co-op entitlements and annual redesign rights. The provider supplied a redesign, but it still did not meet my expectations. The reduced fee is for the provider’s service.

My account; no net savings calculated.

I worked through agency restrictions.

THE RESTRICTION

The agency-managed setup limited access and changes to the digital tools the dealership needed.

THE DELAY

Requests moved between the provider’s departments, with delays and repeated follow-ups.

MY RESPONSE

I rebuilt the website, took over its management and hosting, and built the inventory system behind it.

Old provider websiteWebsite I designed and builtOld provider siteMy build

I took over the website, from design to hosting.

I independently designed, built and now manage this website. Its video hero includes advertising voiceovers in French and English. The old provider website had no English version.

Design decision

Video-led introduction. French and English advertising voiceovers. Inventory and inquiries.

Drag to compare · provider’s later redesign not pictured

I took control of the infrastructure.

The legacy rescue

Friction: legacy dealership and accounting systems could not email invoices directly; staff relied on one shared consumer email account.
What I changed: I repaired the invoice-email paths and moved the team to company-domain email, with clearer ownership and access.

IT independence

Friction: external support charged per question and left basic troubleshooting waiting for days.
What I changed: I ended the external IT arrangement and took over local servers, office networking, printers, workstations and peripherals.

ERP on a local server

I moved the internal ERP to a local open-source server and shifted web code and deployment pipelines to free hosting tiers, keeping the public web layer separate.

AI-generated illustrative images, not on-site photographs. Hardware, electricity, backups and maintenance still carry costs; no total-cost comparison is claimed.

I built one inventory source for multiple channels.

The internal inventory I built feeds our website, external listing platforms, shopping catalogs and social product catalogs.

What I built

I connected inventory management, website publishing and catalog advertising around the equipment record and its images.

INTERNAL INVENTORYEquipment records + listing images
Dealership websiteCustomer-facing listings
Listing platformsExternal equipment listings
Shopping catalogShopping product catalog
Social catalogInventory-based advertising
Equipment inventory page on the dealership website

When the export could not do it, I built the feed.

The obstacle was concrete: an inventory export without the direct product-page URLs needed for our catalog advertising workflow.

  1. 06 JUN
    I requested listing URLs

    I asked for an inventory export or catalog feed that included a direct link to each machine.

  2. 09 JUN
    I followed up

    With no response or acknowledgement, I asked for an update and the right technical contact.

  3. 10 JUN
    The limitation was confirmed

    The provider said its automatically generated XML omitted the individual listing URL and could not be modified.

My solution: a CMS feed with product and image URLs, connected to shopping catalogs with product approvals.

One listing. Every image at a glance.

I built the inventory and feed foundation, then carried the listing’s full image set into catalog advertising. Source example: a 2016 backhoe loader, 12 listing photographs.

I still lead the marketing behind the business

I photograph machines, produce video, bilingual print and digital ads, manage listings and paid search and social campaigns, and adjust budget, targeting and creative priorities based on results.

02 / EXCELKO HUB · THE ERP

The decisions underneath the interface.

I designed and built the Hub to manage the process, treating legacy SEI information as a read-only source of facts.

Service management desk
Service desk on phone, in French

A service desk that shows what is waiting.

I designed and built the service workflow connecting shop work, field service, parts and billing around the same work order.

Design decision

The same work, visible from the shop or the field.

The request stays connected to the stock.

Customer orders, work-order needs and replenishment follow different priorities, but share purchasing and receiving.

Design decision

Distinguish on hand, available, reserved and on order. Keep the waiting customer or job attached to the request.

Parts and inventory workflow
Branded sales contract

The document and the business rule belong together.

I built the contract experience and implemented its information structure and business rules, connecting sales documents with inventory and accounting.

Clear inputs

Customer and equipment details, taxes, trade-ins and payment terms.

Explicit handoffs

Reserve equipment through the sale and require the appropriate accounting transfer.

Reviewable output

Preview the document, preserve the layout and track signing status.

Customer context

CRM history, owned machines, ongoing work and documents.

Service execution

Shop and field work orders, technician time and parts needs.

Stock & purchasing

Reservations, supplier orders, partial receipts and pickup.

Commercial records

Quotes, contracts, rental commitments and payment records.

People & access

Attendance, MyHR requests, employee roles and shared information.

Accounting handoff

Reviewable exports and reconciliation with Acomba.

Synthetic records; these do not certify every live workflow. Module availability and live integration status vary.

03 / BIZZNAR · COMPANY & PRODUCT

I turned operational problems into Bizznar.

I founded Bizznar and built its brand, website and applications myself, using development and AI-assisted tools, drawing on the practical operational problems I had worked to solve.

04 / WEBSITES · STUDIES, TEMPLATES & STOREFRONTS

05 / RARUM ECO DIVE · TOURISM & CONSERVATION

I translated Rarum’s story into a website.

I designed and built the website connecting diving, marine life and Rarum’s local community in Legazpi, Albay.

Rarum Eco Dive website
What I built

I designed and built the website, including its visual layout, page structure and story-led content.

Design decision

Let Rarum’s own photography lead. Give each experience and conservation story room beyond the homepage.

What I built

I designed and built the experience pages, inquiry flow and supporting content-management tools.

Design decision

An inquiry should not pretend to be a confirmed booking. Availability and requirements stay with the dive team.

Rarum dive experience page
Rarum identity study

Brand thinking before and beyond the website.

I created this identity study using creative and AI-assisted tools. Ocean, coral and Albay landscape references explore an emblem, social icon and apparel applications.

The live website uses a different wordmark. Design exploration, not proof of manufactured merchandise.

Smaller, useful tools.

Business document kits spreadsheet

Bizznar Voice

How I work

I turn an undefined need into a reviewable solution.

I start with the work itself: who needs the information, what happens next and where a handoff can fail. I then design and build the process, interface and content myself, using development, creative and AI-assisted tools.

01Understand

Map the existing work and find the points where information or ownership gets lost.

02Define

Write the requirements, screen behavior, rules and acceptance criteria.

03Build & review

Build with development and AI-assisted tools. Inspect, debug and test realistic scenarios.

04Put it into use

Prepare releases, write documentation, hand over the work and implement the next fixes.

Initiative, ownership and delivery

Limitations do not stop me. I build a way forward.

Working directly with the owner, I contribute to branch planning and partner sourcing. I lead marketing, creative production and paid campaigns, and take ownership of infrastructure, websites, inventory feeds and a custom ERP.
