๐Ÿš€ Current Focus

Dolphin OS - An integrated platform for utility construction that manages the complete lifecycle from design through billing. Field operations management, real-time GIS mapping, production tracking, and financial systems working together so that raw work data becomes accurate, auditable job records that everyone in the project chain (crews, contractors, clients) can trust. Multi-tenant architecture connecting prime contractors, subcontractors, and clients in a single ecosystem. Built with custom RTK hardware, PostGIS geospatial infrastructure, and connected field devices for real-time data capture and telemetry.
