Venmo Payouts
Venmo Payouts is a product that I got to build as a proof of concept and then turn into a full-fledged product alongside a small team of developers. The initial proof of concept was a shotgun hack to power a couple marketing campaigns that would allow merchants like Chipotle to send small payments to users in an effort to get them to buy burritos.
After the success of the pilot campaigns, I acted as a tech lead and liaison between the Venmo team and PayPal MassPay teams to architect and build out a highly scalable merchant-to-consumer payout platform. I designed the APIs, data stores, and contracts between PayPal and Venmo.
