Problem

Many rural homestays offer memorable travel experiences but remain difficult to discover online. Hosts often lack digital visibility while travelers struggle to find authentic stays outside mainstream platforms.

Solution

MITTI is a full-stack booking platform built specifically for rural tourism. It gives hosts a way to showcase properties online while helping travelers discover, book, and review unique stays.

Platform

The system includes dedicated experiences for travelers, hosts, and administrators, covering listings, bookings, reviews, property management, and platform moderation.

Architecture

Built using Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma ORM, Firebase Authentication, and Razorpay. The architecture focuses on scalability, maintainability, and type-safe development.

Engineering

The project involved database design, authentication flows, booking workflows, role-based access control, responsive UI development, deployment, and production-focused architecture decisions.

Outcome

MITTI became my largest academic software project and provided hands-on experience designing and building a complete full-stack application from concept to deployment.
