About

I’ve spent a few years working in international trade and customs processes, where I’ve seen how much time gets lost in manual paperwork and disconnected systems. I’m currently building tools in this space and learning how teams handle cross-border compliance in practice. I’m here to follow how others are building products, share experiences, and learn from founders working on similar problems. Always interested in how people solve operational challenges at scale.

We Built IDP Software That Connects Trade Documents Directly to Customs Declarations

I'll start with ours.

We built iCustoms, an AI platform for customs and trade compliance teams. Every day, customs teams receive trade documents from dozens of suppliers in different formats. Someone reads each one and rekeys the data into a declaration system by hand.

That's where errors enter. Wrong values trigger CDS rejections. Shipments get delayed.

iCustoms fixes this. Documents come in, data gets extracted, validated, and pushed directly into ERP systems and HMRC's CDS via API. No rekeying. No manual mapping.
