Need & Problem

The company was already managing their tiny house operations in Airtable, but:
    •    I took over a complex existing setup from another developer
    •    The system had grown highly interconnected and difficult to maintain
    •    German building permits and administrative workflows required structured, compliance-aware handling
    •    Multiple construction partners and public authorities had to be coordinated
    •    Contract workflows were manual and document-heavy

They needed someone to:
    •    Take technical ownership of the system
    •    Understand the existing architecture in depth
    •    Stabilize and maintain the setup
    •    Improve automation, traceability, and reliability

The Solution
  • Fully analyzed and understood the existing Airtable architecture and operational processes

  • Performed bug fixes, stabilization, and long-term maintenance

  • Designed and built a large custom Airtable Extension to guide internal users through building a fully customized cabin using predefined builder blocks

  • Implemented dynamic contract generation and signing via PandaDoc integration within the extension

  • Automated document creation and routing to the correct recipients for signature

  • Built archive structures (archive page + archive base) to improve long-term data management

  • Created logging and tracking systems to monitor performance metrics (sales numbers, calls, operational KPIs) from project start to completion

  • Integrated Sales Squeeze as a replacement for the internal configurator and ensured real-time synchronization with Airtable

  • Built and maintained CRM integration between Pipedrive and Airtable, including Zapier automations
