Nationwide property data

Data.

Turn raw records into usable parcel data.

Architecture and ongoing operation of a nationwide property database.

The challenge

Maintain a large, changing dataset and make it efficient to use across multiple platforms.

My contribution

I designed the finalized parcel-data model and built the ingestion, reconciliation and replicated PostgreSQL systems that keep it up to date.

The result

A shared parcel-data foundation, structured for efficient use across our platforms.

Search.

Find a parcel. Query its comparables.

Two distinct systems behind one compact interface.

The challenge

Help users locate a property, then retrieve its parcel data and relevant comparable properties using geolocation and data-driven filters.

My contribution

I built property autocomplete and engineered the underlying data retrieval, optimizing queries and indexes for geographic and attribute-based filtering.

The result

Parcel details and comparable properties brought together in one compact interface for analysis.
