Objective

Designed and developed a scalable MVP for a roommate matching platform focused on lifestyle compatibility rather than traditional listing-based discovery. The objective was to improve shared living outcomes by prioritizing human compatibility, reducing friction in roommate selection, and enabling faster, more informed decisions.
The product was built as a full web MVP using Bubble, designed to handle structured user data, matching logic, and real-time communication in a unified system.

The Problem

Most roommate platforms rely heavily on property listings instead of human compatibility. This leads to:
Poor lifestyle matches
High user churn after initial connection
Lack of structured decision-making in shared living
The core challenge was to design a system that shifts focus from “finding a place” to finding the right person to live with.

The Solution

We built a structured MVP system that combines behavioral data, matching logic, and communication into a single flow:
Guided onboarding with lifestyle and preference profiling
Compatibility-based matching system instead of random discovery
Structured user profiles with behavioral attributes
Integrated chat system for matched users
Unified interface combining matches, listings, and communication
The system was engineered to ensure smooth data flow between user profiles, matching logic, and interaction layers.

Build Execution

Built and delivered MVP in ~28 days
Designed compatibility-driven matching architecture
Structured database logic for scalable user profiling and filtering
Implemented real-time interaction flow between matched users
Optimized onboarding flow to improve profile completion and reduce drop-off
The entire system was built to be modular, allowing future expansion into advanced AI-based matching and recommendation layers.

Outcome

Created a structured compatibility-first roommate discovery system
Improved match relevance by prioritizing lifestyle alignment over listings
Reduced friction in decision-making through unified matching + chat flow
Built a scalable MVP architecture ready for future feature expansion (AI scoring, advanced filters, recommendation engine)

Key Takeaway

This project demonstrates how shifting from listing-based systems to behavior-driven matching architecture can fundamentally improve user outcomes in shared living platforms, while maintaining scalability and performance from day one.
