Urgent PPE shortage.
COVID-19 created a sudden need for protective equipment inside healthcare systems. The work required speed, but speed alone was not enough: the product had to be manufacturable, compliant, deliverable, and trusted.
From idea to public-health delivery under emergency constraints.
Sanity Cares was a compressed execution problem: design and deliver a compliant physical product into a healthcare system during a global supply shock. The hardest parts were not the idea; they were compliance, procurement, and manufacturing coordination across Irish and UK subcontractors.
COVID-19 created a sudden need for protective equipment inside healthcare systems. The work required speed, but speed alone was not enough: the product had to be manufacturable, compliant, deliverable, and trusted.
As co-founder, I coordinated product/design/compliance/manufacturing/logistics across a fast-moving supply chain. The public-safe proof is the delivered physical product and scale: €2.5m revenue and 1.625m CE-marked face shields delivered to Ireland’s HSE.
No private contracts, procurement documents, or compliance files are published here.
Move from ambiguity to delivered product without waiting for perfect information.
Compliance, procurement, manufacturing, and delivery had to line up.
External subcontractors were part of the operating system, not an afterthought.
The context changed quickly; the execution rhythm had to adapt.
Compressed delivery under constraint is the same muscle I bring to AI builds: scope it, ship it, verify it.
Typo shows multi-year operating execution; the AI Operating System case shows how I use agents as practical leverage.
