Zentia

A personal finance app designed to replace uncertainty with a clear view of your money.

Overview

Zentia started with a simple frustration: none of the personal finance apps I tried felt like something I genuinely wanted to use every day. They could track numbers, but the experience often felt cluttered, unintuitive or unnecessarily complicated. I wanted to create something more modern — simple, intuitive and fast — where recording a transaction takes seconds and opening the app gives you a clear picture of where you stand.

For me, tracking money isn't only about storing transactions. It is how financial awareness is built: understanding what you spend, what you earn, what you have left and what is coming next. Zentia was my attempt to turn that habit into a clearer and more enjoyable everyday experience.

03 / CLIENT WORK

Freelance websites. Different industries, different constraints.

Since 2021, I have worked directly with clients across construction, tourism, fitness, marketing and education. The brief is rarely complete at the beginning. My job is to uncover what the business needs to communicate, turn it into a clear digital experience and carry the work through feedback, responsive implementation, deployment and domain launch.

What I build.
What I use.

My work spans websites, mobile applications and the services behind them. These are the technologies and tools I use to bring those experiences together.

Web development

I build responsive websites and web interfaces, translating client requirements into clear layouts, reusable components and working interactions.

AI-assisted development

I use AI to refine ideas, explore approaches, build, debug and iterate, transforming ideas into products through rapid prototyping. While these tools multiply my output, I remain responsible for the product decisions, the implementation, and the final result.

05 / ABOUT MY CAREER

A non-traditional path into product building.

My path into technology wasn't planned. My background was in accounting, but during the COVID pandemic in 2021, I started learning HTML out of curiosity. HTML led to CSS, then JavaScript, React and Next.js. I followed the conventional self-taught path: online courses, documentation, tutorials and many small projects built from scratch.

In 2024, I started using Cursor and AI-assisted development tools. They didn't replace the foundations I had learned, they changed the speed and scale of what I could build. I moved from creating websites to building complete web and mobile applications.

What excites me most about AI isn't simply writing code faster. It is the possibility of exploring more ambitious ideas, discovering new solutions and turning something imagined into something people can actually use.
