  Praisee

  Jul 2015 - Feb 2017

  Co-founder & developer

  Praisee is a site for unbiased peer based reviews that groups you with similarly minded people so you see reviews that matter. I co-founded and built the site from the ground up using NodeJS, Loopback, ReactJS, GraphQL, and RelayJS. We applied for funding at Y Combinator and made it to the runner-up position but ultimately failed to make it to the finals due to how new the site was. Ultimately we dissolved the company due to the considerable time and financial pressure it put on us.
