Denzel Shato — Dee

I build the software that runs your business behind the scenes.

Client dashboards, booking systems, live chat, internal tools — the kind of software that saves you hours a week or lets you charge more for a better client experience. Built solo, shipped fast, and made to actually get used.

Business Productivity

Featured Product Production Ready

DocForge

DocForge is a modern business document studio that brings proposals, contracts, invoices, questionnaires, and other professional documents into a single workspace. Instead of juggling separate tools for drafting and formatting, teams write, brand, and refine documents in one place, then hand them off as polished, ready-to-send PDFs. Built as a production system rather than a demo, it's designed around the way small businesses actually produce client-facing paperwork day to day.

AI Reading Platform

Featured Product Active Personal Project

InkForge

InkForge is a premium digital reading platform for readers who want a beautiful, distraction-free experience. Import EPUB books, build a personal library, track progress across every title, and read inside a set of calm, considered themes. It's being built with AI-assisted translation in mind, laying the groundwork for future retranslation, character memory, and terminology consistency tools.

Problem it solves

Many great web novels never reach their full potential because poor translations are filled with grammatical mistakes, inconsistent terminology, awkward sentence structure, and writing that breaks immersion. InkForge exists to change that. The current release provides the foundation—a premium reading platform—while the next major update will introduce AI-assisted translation enhancement to make these stories far more enjoyable to read.

Design philosophy

The interface is intentionally calm and unobtrusive, allowing readers to focus entirely on the story. Every element is designed to complement the reading experience while laying the foundation for InkForge's upcoming AI-powered translation enhancements.

Lessons learned

One of the biggest lessons was the importance of building reliable systems before intelligent ones. Features like reading progress, bookmarks, chapter tracking, and EPUB parsing needed to be dependable first, creating a solid foundation for the upcoming AI translation pipeline.
