The Overview

Zidy is a US-based AI-powered CRM and lead recovery platform specifically engineered for local brick-and-mortar businesses—from bike shops to medical spas.

By automating follow-ups via SMS and Voice, Zidy ensures no lead is left behind, significantly improving conversion rates for high-intent, appointment-based services. Today, the software commands a premium price point of $1,000/month per client.

The Stalling Point.

When I joined Zidy, the company was at a critical crossroads. They had a product that solved a real problem, but the technical foundation was collapsing under its own weight.

Fragile Infrastructure

The core systems were poorly built, leading to frequent downtime and slow response times that frustrated early adopters.

Engineering Leadership Gap

The development team lacked direction. Without a clear technical roadmap, execution was reactive rather than strategic.

Architectural Bottleneck

Unstructured codebase growth and technical debt prevented the deployment of high-value capabilities required to close enterprise clients.

The Progression

From Developer to
Technical Consultant.

I started at Zidy as a Senior Frontend Developer. As I began rebuilding the product architecture and solving core technical bottlenecks, my role quickly expanded.

Within months, I transitioned to a full-time Technical Consultant, taking responsibility for building the technical team and aligning the engineering execution with strategic business goals.

Technical Transformation

I overhauled the frontend architecture using Vue 3, TypeScript, and Pinia, moving away from a brittle legacy structure to a modular, component-driven system.

I established rigorous technical processes, including standardized code reviews, automated testing, and a streamlined deployment pipeline that reduced bug reports by 70% within the first quarter.

Building the Team

As the product matured, I took charge of recruiting and onboarding the technical team. I brought in the talent necessary to maintain and expand the platform.

While the CEO focused on scaling revenue through marketing and ads, I built the scalable software core that made growth possible. Without this stable architectural foundation, user acquisition would have resulted in immediate system failures.

The Impact in Numbers.

High-performance engineering is the bedrock that allows startups to scale reliably.
