Personal Portfolio
Business Technology — the projects, the process, and what they taught me.
Buckle upHi, I’m Lalita Kominkova. I’m 18 years old, and in this portfolio I’ll walk you through the projects I worked on in my Business Technology classes and how they helped me grow and learn.
Buckle up, grab some popcorn, and enjoy.
One of my favourite pieces so far showed me something I’d never really thought about: in business you have to think carefully about typography, colour, and overall composition. It wouldn’t have crossed my mind before this class.
I loved creating something personalised, and it taught me how important it is to be original. Even small details matter, because they help communicate the message and feeling of a business.
Oh boy, using Framer was hard, but it was also really fun. Having an idea for a business is cool, but actually seeing it come to life and function in real life was incredibly motivating.
It pushed me to start thinking about a business I could create myself, not just as an idea but as something that could be used and seen by other people. It’s inspiring to realise you can create almost anything you imagine. Even if it’s hard at the beginning, it’s never impossible.

This was one of my favourites, and honestly maybe the best project in the whole course. It was our only teamwork project, and it showed me how powerful collaboration is when everyone’s involved. We laughed a lot, but we took the work seriously and stayed focused.
I enjoyed writing cold emails, preparing for a real interview, and developing the marketing strategy. More than the tasks, it helped me appreciate communication, trust, and shared responsibility. Seeing individual ideas come together into something meaningful was the most rewarding part.

Honestly one of the most painful and time consuming projects I’ve worked on. It pushed my patience, especially when things didn’t work the way I expected.
That said, I can’t deny how powerful Sheets is. Once it clicked, I saw how it connects to other projects and acts as the backbone of many systems. Frustrating at times, but worthwhile, and I’ll keep building on these skills.

This one was interesting, but I also found it difficult to use. Personally I don’t see myself reaching for it much, since other tools feel more flexible for building your own apps.
Still, I understand why people choose it. It gives you most of what you need in one place, and the built-in AI support is helpful. For me, the lack of flexibility just makes it less appealing than other platforms.

This part of the course was fun to build. I didn’t realise how many steps were involved, especially at the start. Login screens and onboarding felt basic, but I learned they still need to be designed with wireframes to make an app feel complete. Simple details are what truly make an app an “app.”
How it works
My app is for new homeowners and students living on their own. When something breaks and you’re not sure what to do, you snap a photo and AI identifies the issue and recommends nearby repair services with estimated prices, ratings, and contact details, so you can pick what fits best.
This marks the end of my portfolio. It was a pleasure taking Business Tech, and I genuinely believe it changed the way I look at real-life problems. I often find myself thinking about situations where I could use these tools to build something useful and turn ideas into my own dream app. Through the course I learned to work in a team, trust others to do their part, and balance having fun with structure to make something meaningful.
Thank you, Sir Rohit, for the guidance and support throughout the course. I look forward to reaching out again in the future, whether for advice, collaboration, or maybe even turning an idea into a real app or business.
