01 — Overview
Overview
A Zillow-style property marketplace for Sri Lanka, in English, Sinhala and Tamil — with interactive map-based search, filters, a lister dashboard, authentication and image storage.
It is deployed and working, and currently pre-launch: domain, listings and marketing come next.
Designed and built alone, using Claude Code and ChatGPT for solutioning and ideation under my spec-driven process.
02 — The problem
Finding property in Sri Lanka still means scattered listings, inconsistent details and little that works well in Sinhala or Tamil.
The goal: take an idea all the way — design it, architect it, build it and deploy it — as one engineer.
