> software platforms and ai systems that earn their keep, week after week.

Lazar Igić is the founder of [alt software solutions](https://www.altsoftwaresolutions.com), an independent, EU-registered software and AI engineering practice founded in 2023.

## what i build

- **Complete software platforms** for businesses that run on daily operations — designed, built and run end-to-end.
- **Specialised platforms and software solutions for the food & beverage sector**: ordering, kitchen operations, delivery and billing.
- **AI agents and automations** for the work that eats a team's week: customer replies, quotes, reports, lead triage, document handling, internal q&a.

Best fit: businesses already running, where one specific process is costing more hours, more money or more customers than it should.

## ai agent patterns

- **Support inbox triage** — an agent reads each customer email, drafts a reply in your voice, and escalates only what needs a human.
- **Quotes & proposals** — an agent extracts scope from an inquiry, applies pricing rules and drafts the proposal; the rep reviews and sends.
- **Weekly business pulse** — every Monday an agent pulls numbers from your tools and writes a one-page summary.
- **Document intake** — PDFs, contracts, receipts and invoices are parsed, validated and pushed to your system.

These are patterns, not products — every build is tailored.

## engagements

- **Platform build** — a complete software platform end-to-end, including specialised F&B solutions.
- **Opportunity audit** — the top 2–3 places AI will save the most time, money or headcount cost.
- **Build & ship one** — one high-leverage workflow built, tested and deployed as a working agent.
- **AI stack cleanup** — replace scattered ChatGPT tabs and one-off scripts with a small set of agents the team owns.

## what production means

- Clear success criteria before building.
- Every agent action logged, every failure visible.
- Humans in the loop for anything touching money, customers or compliance.
- Clean handoff with docs a non-engineer can follow.

## background

- Nearly a decade building production software: backend systems, APIs, architecture, delivery.
- Led engineering teams from idea to production; shipped backend systems for an insurance platform and a global reinsurance group.
- University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering; Mathematical Grammar School, Belgrade.
