Co-Founder @ PinMy | Innovating Picture-Based Communication | Global Team Driving Tech in Flutter App Design & Development 🚀🌍💡

🚀 At PinMy, we’re transforming how people collaborate visually — enabling voice and text annotations on photos, videos, and PDFs. What started as a better way to share memories now powers smarter communication in construction, design, and more.

💡 I’m also the co-founder of MaboaSoft, where I lead software strategy and product development with 12+ years of experience. My background spans Flutter, Xamarin, .NET MAUI, and building scalable mobile-first apps.

🤝 I’m passionate about creating digital tools that are both simple and powerful — and I regularly offer pro bono tech consulting to help teams bring better products to life.

RELEASE [AEC] Paris: Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Reality 🏗️🇫🇷

Just back from an inspiring few days in Paris at RELEASE [AEC]. It was an honor for PinMy to be selected for the Start-Up Program and share the stage with some of the sharpest minds in our industry.
Two keynote sessions particularly resonated with me and confirmed we are moving in the right direction.
1. The Gap is Real (Insight from Allister Lewis, @ADDD ) Allister's "Gap Analysis" slide hit home hard: "You can't improve what you haven't mapped." He identified "Workflow Standardization" and "Digital Skills Development" as top gaps. This is exactly what we see on the ground. The problem isn't a lack of powerful software in the office; it's the disconnect with the construction site. When tools are too complex, they simply don't get used, and we revert to WhatsApp chaos.

2. AI Should Save Time, Not Complicate It (Insight from Stjepan Mikulić, AI in AEC) Stjepan shared a powerful stat: "Everyone got AI skills to save 12 hours/week." His funnel showed that while "Real AI Skills" are rare, the goal is "AI for Every Employee." This is PinMy's philosophy. We use AI (like instant voice transcription) not to replace humans, but to handle the boring documentation work, letting teams focus on building.

🚧 Bringing Reality to the Stage Inspired by these insights, I decided to ditch the "polished" presentation. I started with photos of real construction sites—messy pictures, lost plans, printouts on walls (swipe to see 👉).
We performed a Live Demo using just one tablet to show how we close these gaps: 
✅ Zero Friction: Our "Guest Access" allows contractors to collaborate without installing an app. No barriers. 
✅ Standardization: Turning chaotic chats into plan-linked tasks. 
✅ The 80/20 Rule: PinMy provides the core 20% of features that solve 80% of daily site communication problems without the complexity. We are the agile layer connecting your vision to the reality of the field.

A massive thank you to Philippe Brocart and the entire RELEASE [AEC] team for a world-class event. And special thanks to my team, 
Kate Minina and Anastasiia PROSHAK, for the live demo magic!
