Hire Me!

A marketplace for skilled workers in the Philippines, starting in Cebu. Customers find plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other professionals, request quotations, sign contracts, book and pay. Each professional gets a shareable page and a dashboard for inquiries, quotations, contracts, availability and bookings, and starts free.

Problem

Skilled workers in Cebu mostly find customers through Facebook posts and word of mouth, so quotes, agreements and schedules end up scattered across chats, and customers have little to go on when choosing who to hire.

Solution

A React and Supabase marketplace where the business rules live in Postgres, not the browser. Every status change goes through a database function that checks who is asking and whether the step is allowed; money is counted in whole centavos; an exclusion constraint rules out double-booking; and signed contracts are locked against edits. Row Level Security limits each person to their own data, and the database tests run the real migrations.

My Role

Concept, product design, and development.
