Goal
Build a clear, map-first product where users can discover available charging points, evaluate station quality using community feedback, and submit new station data in a structured format.
Case Study
ChargeFinder
ChargeFinder helps EV users find charging stations faster, verify details before arriving, and contribute updates when information is missing or outdated.
My Role
Full-stack ownership from product shaping to implementation: frontend architecture, map interaction UX, API design, data modeling, authentication, and deployment.
Delivered Outcomes
- Interactive station map with geolocation and detail popups.
- Submission flow for adding new charging stations with validation.
- Community reviews and ratings to improve data quality.
- Session-based authentication and protected write operations.
Architecture
- Frontend: React + Vite SPA with Redux Toolkit state management.
- Map layer: Leaflet with OpenStreetMap tiles and marker clustering.
- Backend: Express REST API for stations, reviews, users, and auth.
- Data: MongoDB for station and review records, Redis for sessions.
