The calls that shaped it

Meet the market where it already is

Rental agencies in Pakistan run on WhatsApp and Facebook posts. So sign-in is a WhatsApp OTP, every agency gets a free branded storefront, and the first product mode is driver-first bookings.

Trust as a gate, not a badge

Listings must pass photo, insurance and vehicle verification before they publish. A marketplace without a verified reputation layer is just another classifieds board.

A small, fast stack

Rust/Axum API, Astro web, PostgreSQL, an ops suite with roles, drivers, chat and promos, and an Android app on the Play Store.

Why it matters for a hiring manager

What this proves about how I lead

RentGari is about product judgment in an emerging market: constraints on connectivity, payments and trust shape every decision. It shows I can lead a consumer marketplace end-to-end — ops tooling, mobile app, store listing — not only enterprise platforms.

Every product under Atrix was built with the same operating model I bring to a team: a written architecture decision before the first commit, a thin vertical slice in production within the first weeks, AI-assisted delivery for the volume work, and human judgment reserved for the decisions that compound — data model, security boundary, provider choice. The hire-me page lays out how that translates into a 90-day plan for your company.
