“Social-impact platform connecting youth volunteers with verified community initiatives.”
Impactly bridges the gap between youth volunteers and community causes through location-aware event discovery, verified hour tracking, and gamified social impact records.
Existing volunteering systems are desktop-heavy, difficult to navigate on mobile, and lack transparent activity verification for young volunteers.
Product engineering case study combining structured UX field research with modern cross-platform mobile architecture.
Lead Product Developer & UX Researcher — Conducted demographic interviews, wireframed complete user flows in Figma, designed database tables, and built the mobile application.
Conducted 20 structured interviews with students aged 18–25. Found 85% favored gamified progress tracking and 90% prioritized location-based cause discovery.
Built with modern mobile frameworks paired with relational database architecture, utilizing secure data protection policies.
Validated prototype with test users, receiving positive ratings for streamlined navigation and visual clarity.
Deepened my conviction that thorough user research before writing code saves weeks of refactoring later.
