PROJECT OVERVIEW
Technical highlights
I developed a full-stack MVP for hiring home services in Lima, connecting clients with professionals for gardening, painting, electrical work, plumbing, cleaning, carpentry, and general maintenance. The project was designed around a problem observed in Lima, Peru: many residential service hires still start through informal recommendations and word of mouth, which makes trust, availability, coverage, and history hard to compare. I chose Peru as an intentional learning scope to study a Latin American market outside my Brazilian context and adapt the product to another city, language, district structure, and service routine.
