WORK THAT EXISTS.

Representative first-party projects and portfolio examples. We distinguish products we build or operate ourselves from work prepared for other brands. No invented customer testimonials, unverified sales lifts or approval badges are presented.

Case 01 / first-party seller operations

Turning Ecommerce Friction Into Software Requirements

The work

SMAT's own product operations involve consumer-brand product launches, product listing setup, photos and creative content, fulfillment workflows and inventory exceptions. These practical problems informed the development of EzSeller and CommerceOS.

Specific design targets include preserving ASIN/SKU/FNSKU identity, investigating inventory differences and keeping marketplace data separated correctly.

What this demonstrates

Firsthand seller process knowledge translated into requirements for reporting, data validation and evidence-driven exception handling.

Evidence: first-party brand and product examples appear in the public SMAT portfolio. EzSeller's planned features and availability are disclosed on its product page and its live product website.

Not a third-party customer success claim. No revenue improvement is asserted.

Case 02 / first-party software development

AiSCent & LocalizeShots

The work

App Store Connect and localization workflows require coordinated metadata, regional creative assets, build information and review checks. Our team developed software and tools to make these operations more visible and repeatable.

Examples include locale-specific screenshot preparation, release asset tracking, and separation of app-facing and agent-facing functionality.

What this demonstrates

macOS development experience, release-workflow modeling, localization automation and verification-oriented tooling.

Evidence: the software description and current access guidance and AiSCent’s public developer website provide the public product context. Availability must be confirmed per build; this case study is not proof of Apple's approval of any specific version.

WWDC MCP: Open-Source Evidence

What we built

A local-first, source-grounded search and retrieval server for Apple developer guidance, designed for coding agents and developer workflows. The published project has an MIT license and documents its installation and supported commands.

How to independently verify

The public GitHub repository shows the source, instructions, release and CI evidence. This is a work-sample credential, not a client testimonial or an Apple endorsement.
