Project Summary

Tintash built a Ruby on Rails e-commerce website (SkinSAFE) with an HTML-based UI/UX and a personalized recommendation engine that recommends products at the ingredient level. The site launched responsive and performant, received positive customer feedback, and Tintash continued to provide support and feature enhancements during the engagement.

Key Challenges

Startup with limited funding
Could not afford local hires and therefore needed an offshore team

Personalized recommendation engine (ingredients-level)

Project Solution
