Thambapanni
A mobile travel app that connects tourists with verified Sri Lankan guides and local experiences, with AI-powered trip planning, interactive maps and secure payments. I built the authentication flow, destination search, guide discovery and vehicle selection, the map section, and email verification for guide invitations.
