More than a coding exercise.
The project demonstrates the full product lifecycle: deciding what the app should do, designing the user journeys, implementing the mobile product, connecting backend services, preparing store listings, handling approval, monitoring the live app and continuing to improve it.
Core product surface
- Dog and owner profiles with photos and profile details.
- Discovery and browsing for nearby dogs and owners.

- Push notifications for messaging and product activity.
- Reporting, blocking and moderation-oriented trust & safety tools.
- Ongoing releases, user support and crash monitoring.
