In 2025 I founded Mercantiworld to give small and growing businesses access to bespoke e-commerce without the cost or complexity of traditional custom builds. The MVP platform supports fully tailored storefronts, custom workflows, and a flexible Ruby on Rails architecture designed to grow with each brand.
