## Story

TiKR was an e-commerce startup experimenting with continuously changing prices. Product pages displayed price history alongside listings, making price movement part of the shopping experience.
I worked across its Ruby on Rails and Spree implementation, primarily on the responsive storefront and backend customization. The application ran on Heroku with PostgreSQL and supported realtime price updates and social-sharing incentives.

## Achievements

- Built a dynamic pricing engine on Spree and Ruby on Rails.
- Implemented realtime price changes across the storefront.
- Tuned backend performance on Heroku with PostgreSQL.
