iMaohi Pet Community Platform

A pet platform serving owners, stores, brands and writers at once

2014 | Community Platform | iMaohi | ASP.NET WebForm, C#, LINQ, MSSQL | ~1 year | CTO / SA to QA, incl. markup

Developed while employed by a previous organisation; copyright remains with them. Shown here to illustrate technical capability only.

Four very different audiences at once

It is not simply a shop, nor simply a social network. Owners, stores, brands and knowledge writers all want quite different things, yet had to coexist on one platform. Breaking a brief into four distinct roles is a habit that started here.

Pet health records

Each pet carries its own consultation, vaccination and check-up records, with recurring reminders. What stands out is that the data model itself acknowledges that pets die and pets go missing — and the missing state connects straight to the site's lost-and-found. Health data is private by default; the owner decides whether to share it.

A marketplace, not a shop

The platform was not the only seller, so money landed with the platform first and was then reconciled and settled out to the stores. That single fact shaped the whole transaction flow.

Outcome

This was the main product during my time as CTO — analysis, schema design, front-end markup and testing all mine. The original database design document still exists and covers 153 tables; it is the only project I hold a complete design document for.

FAQ

Owners, stores, brands and knowledge writers — four roles with very different needs on one platform.

It was the main product during my time as CTO, about one year, covering analysis, schema design, front-end markup and testing, on ASP.NET WebForm, C#, LINQ and MSSQL. The original database design covers 153 tables. It was developed while I was employed by a previous organisation, which holds the copyright.
