HaoJiShi Rental Marketplace
A company's own product, taken from nothing to launch over two years
This was the company's own product, not client work
From 2010 to 2012 at Runda, HaoJiShi was a product the company was building for itself. The owner set the data structure; everything else — database, back end, front-end markup, testing — I did alone, over two years.
The problem was two-sided matching
Owners and renters each had their own full path: listing, search, comparison, booking, reviews. The two sides see different things and need different handling. This is where I first understood that a marketplace is really two products. Store coupons and event-planning tools sat alongside it.
For a first C# project, it was not a small brief
Cross-border payments, third-party sign-up, multiple languages — any one of them is enough to occupy a beginner for a long time. I worked through them one at a time.
Walking the same road again
This is where my C# work began. With more experience behind me, better technology in hand and more care for the people who use it, I am building our own systems and web products once more — hoping that this time, what they get is a golden experience.
