Co-Founder

In July-August 2019, I was struggling to find a place to stay for my Fall term. I realized the ineffeciencies (lack of structure, search, privacy) with the Facebook Marketplace, which was where the large marjority of listings were posted. Thus my cofounder Allen and I had the idea of developing a marketplace, which was simple, intuitive and safe. We spent April 2020 to August 2020 building the MVP and launched in September of 2020. I played a leading role in planning, designing and implementing features of the marketplace. We used the MERN stack and Next.Js for Full Stack Development and using Figma, Canva, for UI-UX design. This was a rewarding experience, as I was able to colloborate with my friends to turn an idea into a real solution that has helped thousands of students in Waterloo.

As of 2023, we have over 10,000 signed up users and 2000+ listings!
