StripeProject Overview
MustWants is a real estate platform built around property discovery for military families, connecting them with agents, lenders, and local search tools.
I joined the established codebase as a part-time contract developer and worked across the stack. I co-owned the ingestion of listings from about fifteen MLS providers (Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and scheduled jobs on AWS), built the initial Stripe integration including realtor onboarding, which let the platform start generating revenue, and worked on map-based search and GIS features with Mapbox and Geoapify.
