VILINI & CO

The work your staff does by hand every week should take the computer a minute.

01 —  I build software for Jamaican businesses. A website that takes the order while you’re asleep. Receipts that file themselves from a photo on WhatsApp. A headstone order that stops being retyped into CAD by hand. Six products live. Built in Kingston, priced in Jamaican dollars, from J$20,000 to start.


Founding rate   The next three Jamaican businesses activate at J$20,000 instead of J$50,000. After those, it goes to the full rate.

BookSnappa

Your receipts are in a bag. Your accountant sees them in March.

Photograph any receipt, invoice or petty cash voucher on WhatsApp. It comes back read, dated and totalled. No app to install, no dashboard to learn, nothing to abandon.

It handles what Jamaican paperwork actually looks like — handwritten vouchers, faded till slips, supplier invoices, a page out of a receipt book. Live with Kingston businesses now.

[ FastAPI · Gemini Vision · SQLite · WhatsApp Cloud API · WiPay ]

From J$2,500 a month. A part-time bookkeeper starts around J$40,000.

Headstone Engine

Every plaque used to be retyped into CAD by hand. One at a time.

Now a Kingston monument shop pastes in the parish-council order text and gets back an engraving-ready proof to send for family approval, plus the exact G-code to cut it on their machine, with their bit.

SiteFlow Ops

A photo of a handwritten timesheet goes in. A payroll file comes out. Nothing in between.

The AI reads the hours and flags anything it can’t read with confidence, so a person only checks the doubtful ones before the run. Accounts, roles, billing and audit trails underneath — a production system, not a demo.

Hillside City Centre

A minimart and three bars, two decades-old POS systems that never talked to each other. Built a credit book staff run from a phone, synced live into both tills’ own databases — a payment posts straight to the real balance, a sale itemizes into a real invoice, a student discount applies itself at the bar tablet.

One builder. Idea to shipped.

Before this I was founding growth lead at Liqwid, where I took a lending protocol to US$81M — I designed the campaigns and incentives that brought the money in, then built the software that ran them.

That’s the useful part of the CV: I have had to make something actually earn, not just launch. Now I build for businesses on the ground here. Six live products so far, and I work alone across strategy, design, code and deploy — which is why things go up in days instead of quarters.
