Description
Imlaak is a cutting-edge classified property application designed to transform how users search for and list properties. Developed using the MERN stack, the platform focuses on seamless UX through advanced filters and visually engaging map-based property discovery. As Team Lead and Developer, I led delivery of interactive features such as clickable pins on JPEG maps to surface property details instantly.
Problem
• Inefficient Property Searches: Traditional platforms overwhelm users with unfiltered listings, slowing property discovery. • Lack of Visual Property Representation: Many solutions rely on basic maps or text-heavy listings, reducing engagement and clarity.
Solution
• Implemented advanced filtering by property type, price, location, and additional criteria.
• Designed an intuitive interface for smooth use across different user types.
Technologies Used
• MongoDB: Scalable datastore for high-volume listings and property metadata.
• Express.js & Node.js: Backend APIs and service logic for efficient processing.
• React: Dynamic, responsive frontend for high-interaction user flows.
• AWS (EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB): Reliable cloud deployment and runtime scalability.
Impact
• Improved User Engagement: Increased session duration and repeat visits due to better UX and visual discovery.
• Higher Property Listings: Easier listing flow attracted more agents and property owners, expanding inventory depth.
• Positive Feedback: Users appreciated speed, clarity, and the interactive map experience.
