Arise Africa needed a better way to run the silent auction at their annual fundraiser — their old third-party service was expensive and clunky. I built them a custom real-time auction platform where guests could browse items, watch bids update live, and outbid each other from their phones.

The app debuted at the "Arise Together" event with over 200 guests bidding throughout the night. The live, competitive bidding kept people engaged, the event raised significant funds for Zambia's youth, and the organization now owns a platform they can reuse for every future event instead of paying a vendor each year.
