Retail software work splits into three layers that all have to hold up under real traffic: the storefront itself, the operational tooling behind it that has to capture every order without manual steps, and — increasingly — making the product catalog discoverable inside AI answer engines where buyers now ask for recommendations directly. Knovik's shipped work spans all three: Shopify/WooCommerce storefront engineering, a native Android call-logging tool built for a retail hotline team (proof of the on-device engineering discipline that also underpins EdgeTal), and Answee integration for AI product discovery.
Custom Shopify (Liquid, Hydrogen) and WooCommerce builds with fast catalogs, secure checkout, and ERP/inventory sync — coded directly rather than assembled from a plugin stack that slows a store down.
Purpose-built internal tools for the operational side of retail — the same offline-first Android engineering discipline behind EdgeTal, applied to a native call-logging app that prompts hotline agents to log every customer call and syncs each entry automatically.
Structuring product catalogs so they surface in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — including Answee integration for Shopify and WooCommerce stores.

Yes — the same on-device engineering pattern we used to build a native Android call-logging app for a retail hotline team (detecting the call ending, prompting the agent, storing offline-first, syncing in the background) is directly reusable for EU retail operations that need reliable, no-data-loss field or phone tooling.
