Software Engineer · SDE-2MoveEasy
A packing and moving platform where service providers could bid on customer requests.
Where the idea came from.
I got the initial idea from watching Shipping Wars — independent transporters competing for jobs. It made me wonder what that model could look like for packing and moving.
Instead of a customer finding one service provider and accepting one quote, MoveEasy let the customer create a moving request and receive bids from multiple providers. The customer could compare the options and choose the one that fit.

The whole product, end to end.
- 01
Product & UI
Shaped the requirements and designed the two sides of the product: customers posting requests, providers responding to them.
- 02
Customer & provider flows
Built the experience around creating a moving request, discovering open requests, submitting bids and comparing the options.
- 03
Backend & database
Built the backend and data layer behind users, moving requests and the bids attached to them.
- 04
Deployment
Connected the application end to end and deployed it.
Learning by building all of it.
MoveEasy was one of my early experiences of taking an idea from a simple observation to a working product. Even a simple idea — post a request, collect bids, pick one — turns into a lot of connected decisions once you actually build it.
