    Software Engineer

    Apr 2024 – Jun 2024, Remote

    • Built a three-sided booking marketplace end to end in under 7 weeks, reaching 100+ registrations in its first week.
    • Designed a role model where one account can be an enthusiast, venue provider and instructor, so users upgrade in place instead of signing up again.
    • Built the venue-to-class booking flow: an instructor prices a class and reserves a venue slot in one step, and the class opens for enthusiasts to book.
    • Onboarded users through the LINE official account, so new users sign up in the app they already use.
