Context
Service businesses needed something more useful than a link in bio and less heavy than a website builder. Fingertip became an AI platform for websites, bookings, payments, invoicing, and e-commerce, all of it runnable from a phone.
What I Built
I built the core TypeScript platform: public page runtime, creator editor, theme system, AI page generation, bookings, invoicing, payments, and deploy infrastructure. It grew to 30+ repos on Next.js, Fastify, Prisma and PostgreSQL, BullMQ workers, Connect RPC, and Stripe.
Outcome
Tens of thousands of small businesses in more than 100 countries. Linktree acquired Fingertip in 2025 and the team joined to keep building small-business tools for its creators.
