Hey, I'm Arnas 👋
I'm a software engineer with 6+ years of experience, including 3+ years building tools for car dealerships. I've attended NADA, talked to hundreds of dealers, and learned exactly where the pain points are.
vindecode.app is my attempt to make VIN data actually accessible — for car buyers who just want a quick answer, and for dealers who are tired of juggling a dozen OEM portals to do basic things.
