Implementation

Roadpple is a platform that helps planners organise trips and hangouts with their community through two models: standard public trips and private plans. I led the backend engineering — owning the API layer from architecture to delivery across auth, KYC verification, payment processing, real-time chat, push notifications, and organizer payouts.

// Trip lifecycle (high-level)
user registers → identity verified (KYC)
  → creates or joins a trip
  → payment held until completion
  → real-time chat opens for participants
  → trip ends → organizer payout released
