Co-founder of Jet5
Jet5 was a small Brazilian startup focused on the delivery market by motorcycles.
The system was responsible for matching users requesting delivery of documents and small packages with motorcyclists willing to perform the job.
As a co-founder and lead back-end developer, my responsibility was to create the first PoC of the system. This PoC was built on Ruby on Rails, with Postgres as data storage. GeoLoc was part of the system, storing in the database the geolocation for pickup and dropoff of the package and calculating the price for the service.
Finally, push notifications were sent to drivers in the area nearby the pickup location, prospecting the jobs.
