  • Integrated PayU payment gateway for property listing payments with dedicated success/failure handling flows
  • Built PWA support with a custom service worker (sw.js), web manifest, offline fallback page, and install prompt logic
  • Created PHP class-based architecture separating concerns: property CRUD, broker profile updates, authentication, admin functions, and a custom logger
  • Developed a client management module with activity timelines, quick-share property pages, and contact detail views
  • Implemented custom archive and publish workflows for properties with status-aware UI (active/inactive badges)
