Web Service for Renovation Contractors

Quote Kong is a small startup very close to releasing our MVP, Minimum Viable Product. If you want to experience the entrepreneurial world of a software startup, come hang with us. You will work directly with our senior software developers. All aspects of product development will be in your hands. These are described in the next sections. Our MVP is a web service for Estimating and Quoting on Home Renovation Projects. To date, Renovation Contracting is poorly served by existing tools. Contractors often spend $100k or more only to throw out the app and fall back to spreadsheets. Our product design will be an industry game changer. Most of our product follows common web service patterns: user accounts, frontend, API, backend, database, cloud deployment, CICD, etc. Our secret sauce is how we create detailed estimates and prepare quotes. Development doesn't stop with MVP. We have an arms length roadmap that will keep our team busy for years. It includes renovation project management, App development, 3D room mapping, ML integrations, a contractor<>customer messaging interface and much more. Many of these follow-on services are still just post-its and will need significant design input from the team.

Review and restructure Cloud Architecture within Google Cloud

We are using Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Happy to accommodate a team trained on AWS/Azure if your team is happy to step up and learn GCP. Is this within your scope? We are using GCP badly in many ways. Examples: No VPC, many problematic development processes, poor DB update process (MySQL), security holes, poor API design. Our problems span infrastructure, development and product design. Goal: with a primary focus on cloud infrastructure, review and then reorganize our development system toward today's best practices.
