Venmo Gift Wrapping

Venmo Gift Wrapping provided a fun way for users to send payments with animated greeting cards to friends and family. This was a shotgun project with a tight deadline that I co-led, architected, and developed alongside a small team of engineers. We leveraged AWS lambdas and DynamoDB to power the storefront for the different designs and proxied all mobile requests through the Venmo Platform API. The product shipped on time and launched with a beautiful short film produced by Wong Fu Productions.
