About the Project
Walsup is a youth-centric social commerce fintech app featuring group buying mechanics, dynamic tiered pricing, and an integrated digital wallet with cashback rewards
Walsup represents a hybrid between Fintech and Social Commerce, exclusively designed for the 16-28 demographic. The platform enables users to form independent purchasing networks with partners, leveraging collective buying power to unlock better rates. As the Technical Architect and Lead Developer, I engineered the MVP to support complex real-time interactions. The core innovation lies in its Group Buying Engine, where product prices dynamically decrease based on user participation tiers. The system also integrates a closed-loop digital wallet, incentivizing engagement through instant cashback on transactions
