Freelance Project
Summary
Handyman PWA (On-Demand Service Marketplace)
A digital on-demand service marketplace built to make it easier for customers to find, book, manage, and pay for local handymen and home-service providers. The platform addresses common challenges around finding reliable service providers, unclear service processes, payment risks, limited visibility into job progress, and the lack of structured digital tools for managing service operations.
The platform supports service booking, provider onboarding and verification, wallet and escrow-style payment workflows, job tracking, in-app communication, job photo evidence, ratings, push notifications, and administrative oversight. Service providers can create profiles, showcase previous work, receive and accept relevant job requests, manage ongoing jobs, and earn through completed services on the platform.
Responsibilities:
Managed the product development lifecycle from concept through MVP execution, covering product strategy, requirements gathering, workflow design, feature prioritization, stakeholder coordination, and technical implementation. I worked across both the product and development sides of the project, using VS Code and Codex-assisted development to turn the marketplace concept into a working PWA.
I defined the customer, handyman, and admin workflows and developed the PRDs, BRDs, user guides, and operational documentation required to support the product. I also drove key product decisions around service booking, provider verification, job tracking, wallet and escrow-style payments, notifications, and deployment.
My Impact:
Designed a structured booking process that allows customers to create service requests, provide job details, select a location, upload supporting images, and track the progress of their jobs.
Designed the handyman workflow from receiving and accepting a job through arrival, work commencement, and completion.
Introduced start and completion verification codes, as well as before-and-after job photos, to provide greater accountability and a digital record of service delivery.
Designed provider profiles that allow handymen to showcase their skills, work samples, ratings, and service history.
Implemented wallet and escrow-style transaction logic to improve payment confidence and provide a structured flow for customer payments, platform fees, and provider earnings.
Integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging for operational notifications and Cloudinary for image storage.
Used MongoDB Atlas and Mongoose for data management, Render for deployment, GitHub and GitHub Pages for version control and web distribution, Resend/SMTP for email workflows, and Android Studio for WebView/APK compilation.
Challenges:
Designing a scalable marketplace workflow that balanced customer convenience, provider accountability, and administrative oversight.
Translating traditional offline service processes into simple and clearly defined digital workflows.
Coordinating multiple business and technical requirements while maintaining a straightforward experience across customer, handyman, and admin roles.
Managing evolving requirements around payments, wallet logic, verification codes, provider verification, job evidence, notifications, and mobile access.
Final Output:
Established a working PWA/MVP foundation for an on-demand skilled-services marketplace. The product provides a structured digital experience for service discovery, booking, provider management, job tracking, payment handling, communication, and service completion.
The platform also provides a foundation for future expansion into areas such as dispute management, advanced payment infrastructure, location-based provider matching, provider scheduling, and a broader digital ecosystem for skilled service providers.

Summary
A digital rental and accommodation platform designed to simplify apartment discovery, booking, and short term (daily, weekly, monthly rental) stays for property seekers and accommodation providers faced with challenges of fragmented booking processes, limited flexible rental options, inefficient onboarding, and poor digital management of rental operations.. The platform focuses on providing flexible rental options, streamlined onboarding and KYC verification, secure payment integration, apartment listing management, and an improved booking experience for both customers and property managers. It also caters for realtors and allows them to earn directly via the app when their clients book units using their realtor-code.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Managed the product development lifecycle from concept to execution, overseeing product strategy, requirements documentation, workflow design, stakeholder coordination, and feature prioritization. I worked closely with design and web development to define user experience, implement operational processes, and ensure the platform delivered seamless property booking and management solutions aligned with business goals and customer needs.
MY IMPACT: Introduced flexible rental options to cater to different customer needs (daily, monthly rental packages). Integrated digital onboarding and KYC verification processes to improve trust and compliance. Designed booking and property management workflows to simplify user experience and operational management. Designed realtor commission flow to ensure realtors get paid for successful referrals using their realtor-code, this code is to be used by the clients on the platform to ensure the realtor gets paid commission and client gets a percentage off.
CHALLENGES: Defining scalable operational processes for property onboarding and booking management. Coordinating multiple business requirements while maintaining a seamless user experience. Managing evolving feature requirements during product development (like realtor code/commission)
FINAL OUTPUT: Established a structured digital accommodation and rental platform for the local real estate market. Improved the booking and onboarding experience for users and property managers. Created a foundation for scalable property and rental management operations.
