Lagnam Matrimony
An independently delivered, AI-assisted client application built in five days, with a deployed backend, authenticated chat, and payment verification.
A client brief, taken all the way to release
Lagnam Matrimony is a matrimonial Android app developed for Smart Space Technologies. The application was built end to end in five days using AI-assisted development. I handled the mobile application, Node.js/Express backend deployment to a public VPS, and application setup. The client owns the product.
My contribution
I worked from the client's requirements through implementation, testing, and deployment. My scope included the React Native application, authentication, backend/API work, Razorpay payment gateway integration, and Google Play submission.
Learning a new platform while shipping
I came into the project with React and full-stack development experience, but without prior React Native experience. I used AI-assisted development extensively to learn the framework and implement the app, working through the platform-specific pieces required for release.
The release details that mattered
MongoDB-backed profiles and preference-based recommendations connect to authenticated Socket.IO chat. Razorpay payments include verification and duplicate-payment checks. These boundaries matter because a successful interface alone does not establish that authentication, messaging, or money movement behaves correctly.
Two areas needed particular attention: configuring the Play Store signing-key identifiers for authentication, and resolving Razorpay integration issues. Both were addressed as part of getting the application ready for production.
Outcome
The app was released on Google Play. It was a complete client delivery: requirements, implementation, payment integration, and deployment. Product marketing and subsequent business operations remained with the client.
