Revoot
Revoot is a peer-to-peer lending marketplace for clothing and accessories, where people can lend and rent items, with payments and delivery handled end to end.
The Problem
Renting and lending clothing and accessories was fragmented — there was no trusted way to handle payments, security deposits, and returns between strangers.
What I Built
As founding engineer, I built the entire product solo — frontend to backend to deployment.
- React / Next.js frontend and Node.js backend
- Payment gateway integration and shipping/logistics integration for full order-to-delivery flows
- Security-deposit hold-and-release and lender payout logic — stateful money movement
- An AI analysis feature using OpenAI for listing quality scoring
- CI/CD pipelines and production deployment
The Hard Part
Designing the money flow so deposits are held and released correctly across the lend-to-return cycle, without ever losing or double-moving funds.
Outcome
Live in production — I continue building on it as founding engineer (Jan 2026–present).
