A monthly subscription box of calm
Aside from software, I run calmbox, a monthly subscription box of calming and relaxation-themed products — marketing, procurement, and day-to-day operations included. More recently, I built its backend from scratch in Elixir and Phoenix. It has since grown into a sophisticated subscription e-commerce platform, with capabilities that go far beyond most off-the-shelf solutions.
