The traditional real estate rental market is inefficient and lacks transparency. It relies on fragmented communication channels, cumbersome paperwork, and insecure manual payments. This creates friction, delays, and a lack of trust for both property owners seeking reliable tenants and tenants looking for a hassle-free rental experience.

As the Lead Full-Stack Developer, I was responsible for architecting the cloud infrastructure and building the application from scratch. My responsibilities included:

Developing the cross-platform frontend in FlutterFlow

Engineering a secure, scalable backend using TypeScript for all serverless logic on Google Cloud

Leveraging Firebase services to manage real-time data, authentication, and storage

The primary goal was to create a comprehensive mobile platform to modernize the rental industry. Key objectives:

For Landlords: Provide a tool to manage listings, vet tenants, automate leases, and streamline rent collection

For Tenants: Offer a secure, transparent, and convenient way to find, apply, and pay for rentals

Technical: Build a robust, enterprise-grade application on serverless Google Cloud infrastructure with TypeScript for backend reliability and maintainability

GPL delivers significant value by optimizing the rental workflow:

Operational Efficiency: Automates the full lifecycle from listing to payment, reducing administrative overhead

Security & Trust: Digital contracts, verified profiles, and integrated secure payments increase user confidence

Code Reliability: Strongly-typed TypeScript backend ensures maintainable, error-resistant code

Scalability: Built on Google Cloud, ready to support growth in users, properties, and transactions

The platform was engineered with clear separation of concerns: a responsive frontend and a robust, strongly-typed backend.

Feature-rich, responsive cross-platform app for iOS and Android

Integrated Google Maps API for interactive property searching

Developed advanced property filtering, detailed listings, and in-app digital signature workflows
