**leathercraft workshop** · Fractional CTO

for 7 months in early 2020s

## What I did

- Got involved in small-scale leathercraft production for some time
- Developed a *tailored* ERP/CRM system with stock management and automatic pricing (from blueprints and supplier inputs)
- The software traced the full product lifecycle: by the item serial number, you could tell where every thread or button came from
- Even integrated a laser engraver (you still need a human to move things though)

## What I achieved

- Developed an insatiable passion for hardware
- Renovated the workshop
- Made some weird furniture

## What I learned

- How the leather industry works
- How to build workshops (I made another one later)
- How far our intangible IT bullcrap is from real physical production
