TicDrive Ecosystem
Bridging the gap between drivers and local auto repair shops through a robust trilateral architecture.
As CTO of an early-stage startup, I designed and built the entire ecosystem from scratch: a C# .NET 8 backend on SQL Server, a Nuxt 3 web dashboard, and a React Native mobile app, with real-time synchronization and split payments via Stripe Connect.
The product reached a complete, working MVP across all platforms; the venture did not proceed to market.

The Trilateral Architecture
Ensuring real-time synchronization and a seamless booking flow across all platforms required pristine API design and strict state management.
Driver App
Mobile / React NativeThe driver's touchpoint: booking a garage should feel as simple as hailing a ride. The challenge was collapsing a quote, scheduling, and payment journey into a few taps while keeping each vehicle's status coherent across sessions and devices.
Sync Core
Source of truth / SQL ServerThe core that keeps both surfaces aligned. A single source of truth on SQL Server syncs driver and shop in real time, while money moves through Stripe Connect: I chose a split-payment wallet model so each transaction is divided between platform and shop and payouts settle without the funds ever touching us.
Shop Dashboard
Web / Nuxt 3The shop side: mechanics and managers live in a calendar, not on a phone. The hard part was reflecting every new booking on the mechanic's schedule without a page reload, and preventing double-assignment when several requests land in the same slot.
Split Payments via Stripe Connect
Every payment enters the wallet and is split automatically: a fee to the platform, the rest paid out to the shop, without funds ever touching us.
