I'm Ruhan Upadhyaya. I run Apollo Designs in Winston-Salem, build custom apps for small operations, and am setting up a trading company. The plan: New York and an MBA in August 2028, then real estate development.
Each engine below shows the stage it is really at.
Four things, open now. I am building a record on the way to developing real estate, so every job gets treated as a reference.
Through Apollo Designs: natural stone vanity tops, countertops and tub surrounds, and casegoods built in Winston-Salem. Send the finish schedule and unit count and you get a supply quote. You approve a mock-up before anything goes into production.
For hotel owners, developers and contractors
Quoting, purchasing and job tracking in one place your team will actually use, in place of the spreadsheet and the email thread. I built this for my own company first. Every project is quoted before work starts.
For operations with 5 to 50 people
The Quote-to-PO Tracker follows each job from quote to approval to purchase order and flags the late ones. It is in build, and I am taking one shop to pilot it for 30 days on its own quotes. It will be sold once for a set price, with no subscription.
For shops that quote custom work
Contract underwriting for small sponsors: ground-up development pro formas, equity waterfalls and investment memos. Every formula is audited before the model reaches you. Billed by the hour or by the model.
For sponsors and developers
The trading company I am setting up for sourcing and export work, and the business the online store will run through.
Next: company set up, first trade
A consumer store on a dropship model: products ship from the supplier to the buyer, with ordering automated so it runs without daily attention.
Next: pick the category, open the store
Apollo's internal ERP is mine: quotes, sales orders, purchasing and receiving in one app, built on our own data.
The tracker is the piece other small shops ask about, the gap between a customer's yes and the purchase order. The single screen, the reminders and the weekly summary are being built now. What you see here is a preview with example jobs, not a finished product.
I am looking for one shop with 5 to 50 people to pilot it for 30 days, and for owners willing to spend 20 minutes telling me how their quotes turn into orders.
Every engine does two jobs: it earns, and it builds the record I need to develop real estate.

New York and an MBA, with the engines running without me in the room.

Real estate development: building the kind of projects I supply and underwrite today.
