Product Lab
Two products, two different abilities.
RENDR and SameSame are personal experiments, each built to exercise one product-management ability I would otherwise only be able to describe: modeling complexity, and removing it.
RENDR and SameSame are personal experiments, built to think in public, and sit alongside, not inside, my professional portfolio in Selected Work.
The products
Try each one. See the decisions behind it.

RENDR
Can I model complexity?
Home renovation without the WhatsApp chaos.
The problem A renovation project runs through a chain of people who all have different responsibilities, approvals, documents, and dependencies: homeowner, architect or designer, contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, inspector. Right now that chain runs on WhatsApp threads, and a single discovery (say, a contractor finding unexpected plumbing behind a planned kitchen wall) turns into 27 messages instead of one clean decision: issue raised, contractor adds photos and a proposed change, architect reviews, homeowner sees the cost and time impact, homeowner approves, contractor proceeds, work is verified, change is closed.

SameSame
Can I remove complexity?
Connect through shared interests: no labels, no pressure.
The problem Most social and dating apps lead with photos and swiping, so people connect on appearance before they know whether they actually have anything in common. SameSame flips that: you build a profile from the interests and passions you actually care about, set an optional connection intention (friends, dating, business, or just open), and matching happens on overlap, not a stack of faces to swipe through.
