  • M
    CTO
    Maru Seattle
    Sep 2016 - Apr 2017 (8 months)
    We developed a system that would automatically verify any set of contractor licenses across all states and cities. Home services companies such as Amazon Home Services, Thumbtack, and Angie's List have thousands of contractors each carrying their own licenses issued in different states - with no unified interface to query for licenses. At the time we were developing this system, these companies were manually checking licenses of contractors applying to be listed at best, or not checking them at all at worst. Additionally, since licenses can be suspended or expire, our system would periodically check that each license was still valid.
