- Full stack: iOS/Android passenger & driver apps, dispatch, real-time tracking, payments, fleet management, admin
- Passed a governmental audit; 50 branded cars already on the streets of Constanța
- Zero ad spend, 153 registered passengers (63 in the last 7 days), 0 completed rides pending authorization
- Open question he raises: the dawn of one-person software companies, or unprecedented-speed technical debt accumulation?
