Football Around Me

Football Around Me came to life with the goal of connecting football enthusiasts worldwide—helping them discover local matches, join games, and track football-related activities through a sleek, mobile-first platform. The client chose me for my full stack and mobile development expertise, experience with real-time features, and proven track record of delivering scalable apps. Key goals included creating a cross-platform mobile app, integrating location-based match discovery, and ensuring a social, engaging experience for users.

Timeline: 6 months (MVP to launch) Budget: Confidential (startup-funded) Deliverables:

Cross-platform mobile app (iOS & Android) using React Native & Redux.

Real-time location-based match discovery and invitations.

Backend APIs (Node.js) are integrated with cloud hosting on AWS for scalability.

Building real-time location features requires early planning to ensure accuracy and performance.

A clear UI/UX tailored for sports enthusiasts increases user engagement and retention.

If I were to revisit this project, I’d add more AI-driven recommendations to help users find games and teams faster.
