Hanif Carroll MVPs + Workflow Systems

Work organized by the business problem, not the stack.

Start with client proof first. Each card still shows the kind of work involved, from MVPs and launch sites to workflow automation and AI systems.

Client Work

The strongest proof for how I scope, build, and ship work for paying clients. Start here if you want the clearest signal of what it is like to hire me.

Workflow Automation

2025

Auto Parts "Digital Stockroom"

Client Work · Auto Parts Supplier

A searchable inventory system that turned an auto parts supplier's phone-heavy sales process into a 24/7 digital catalog.

Best fit: Local businesses with inventory or service questions trapped in repetitive phone, WhatsApp, or email workflows.

What changed

Customers can now search the catalog before calling, which turns vague stock questions into more qualified inquiries and frees staff from repeating the same availability checks all day. The business also gained a 24/7 way to surface inventory without relying on phone time alone.

AI Systems

2025-2026

Amazon Creative Ops Platform for Sellers

Client Work · Genrupt

Expanded Genrupt from a fragile AI media MVP into a real Amazon creative ops platform with billing, generation workflows, and stronger product foundations.

Best fit: Teams turning an early AI product into something customers can actually buy, trust, and use at scale.

What changed

Helped turn Genrupt into a platform that could support paying seller teams with subscriptions, organization billing, and safer cost controls.

Validation Build

2025

E-commerce "Fake Door" Test

Client Work · Beauty Brand

A fake-door storefront used to test demand for a beauty brand before spending on inventory.

Best fit: Founders who need to test demand before investing in inventory, manufacturing, or a full build.

What changed

Instead of guessing, the founders got a low-risk signal on which products drew the strongest interest. The test also built an early launch list, which gave them proof of demand and a warmer audience before they spent on inventory.

MVP Build

2025

Social Events Platform

Client Work · Mucho Hangouts (Fractional CTO)

A social events product that needed stronger real-time foundations, cleaner APIs, and day-to-day technical leadership as the team shipped.

Best fit: Small product teams that need senior technical leadership and stronger foundations without pausing delivery.

What changed

The team ended up with a more reliable product, clearer patterns for new work, and junior developers who could ship with less hand-holding.

Launch Site

2025

Interior Designer Portfolio

Client Work · Independent Interior Designer

A portfolio site designed to make a high-end interior designer look as established online as he is in person.

Best fit: Independent professionals who need their online presence to justify higher-ticket work.

What changed

He now has a site that makes it easier to look credible, share work cleanly, and pitch larger interior design projects without relying on scattered social content.

Launch Site

2025

Comic Book Artist Portfolio

Client Work · Professional Comic Book Artist

A portfolio hub that made it easy for editors and publishers to review a comic artist's work and commission him.

Best fit: Artists and independent creatives who need a commission-ready portfolio, not another gallery buried in social media.

What changed

The site gives editors a clean way to review work, trust the professionalism, and reach out for commissions without asking for links or files first.

Selected Product Experiments

Self-initiated products that show how I think through MVPs, workflows, and AI systems when I own the problem end to end. Useful for judgment and product taste, but separate from client delivery.

AI Systems

2025-2026

AI-Powered Event Discovery for Buenos Aires

Selected Experiment · AI Product Build

A conversational event discovery product that turned Buenos Aires' fragmented event scene into one searchable assistant for finding, saving, and sharing plans.

Best fit: Teams exploring AI assistants, RAG search, or data-heavy discovery products that need grounded answers.

What changed

Launched a working event discovery product with 800+ events and 190+ venues pulled into one searchable experience instead of forcing users to jump between sources.

MVP Build

2025

Language Exchange Platform

Selected Experiment · Web + Mobile MVP Build

A neighborhood-based platform for language learners who wanted real in-person exchange without the dating-app chaos of existing options.

Best fit: Founders exploring local-community products, small-group marketplaces, or coordination-heavy MVPs.

What changed

Turned the idea into a working product with onboarding, group chat, neighborhood discovery, and cross-platform coordination.

AI Systems

2025

AI Content Transformation Platform

Selected Experiment · AI Content Operations Build

An AI content system that turned long transcripts into reviewable, schedulable posts instead of a manual content bottleneck.

Best fit: Teams with transcript-heavy marketing workflows who want AI assistance without losing review control.

What changed

Turned a manual transcript-to-post workflow into a working system that extracts insights, drafts posts, and lets a human review before anything gets scheduled.
