VBA macros, Access apps, SQL queries, address matching algorithms. I couldn&#8217;t help it. When I saw a system that could be better, I built a better one.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In 2020 I went independent. Over the next five years I built a customs management SaaS platform solo \u2014 a schema-driven engine that auto-generates 95% of the API endpoints in the backend from a single Excel config file. 843 schemas, 1,622 generated files, 411,000 XML messages exchanged with the Hungarian tax authority. It runs in production. It processes real customs documents every day.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">That project taught me more about systems thinking than anything else. Not because it was technically complex, but because every shortcut I skipped early saved me a hundred hours later. The right structure at the right time compounds.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I apply the same logic to everything else \u2014 fitness, finances, family, how I use AI tools, how I document my own thinking.
