DressUp - Peer-to-peer fashion rental (UAE)

The brief

DressUp rents clothes between private owners, so the platform has to balance two sides: the one lending and the one renting. We came in as fractional CTO to set the technical vision and scale what was already there.

What had to work

The end-to-end rental flow, payments with a deposit, and availability. Payments run on Stripe Connect, which splits the money between the platform and the owner of the item and holds the deposit until it comes back. The availability calendar updates in real time so nobody books an item that is already out.

Where it stands

The full flow is in production, with images on AWS S3 and the frontend in Next.js.
