Mickey C.

Worked on a personal project. ZaZaar aimed to be a live-streaming marketplace, built on third-party WebRTC service and Phoenix backend. Being a solo founder, I had to handle all aspect of the business. Besides technical product developments, I had conducted user interviews, contracted designers, and attempted to find investments. Before winding down the project, I had pivoted the project to a SaaS focused on serving Facebook Livestream sellers.

Our backend tech stack includes Elixir, Phoenix, Postgres, and is hosted on AWS. Being an early stage startup, we are responsible for all features, and more or less played a part in development. I mostly worked on Job and Marketplace related features, including defining job schema, marketplace sorting & filtering (including geo-fencing). I also did most of the work on user authentication, and resource authorization.
