Case Study: AI-Powered Real Estate App MVP in 30 Days
Project Context
A growing consulting firm needed to deliver a custom MVP demo for a major enterprise client, but their backend team was fully committed to data infrastructure and ML model development. They had structured real estate data and scoring outputs flowing through FastAPI, but no frontend capacity to make it presentable for a high-stakes demo. With just 30 days to delivery, they needed embedded frontend expertise.
Our Role
We provided a dedicated frontend engineer who integrated directly with their team for the sprint duration. Our engineer worked closely with their backend developers and product stakeholders to design and build a demo-ready interface from scratch, translating complex model outputs into an intuitive user experience that would resonate with enterprise decision-makers.
Stack
- React with Mantine for UI components and theming
- React Query for async state and API orchestration
- Plotly for rich, interactive data visualizations
- FastAPI backend providing real estate data and scoring logic
What We Delivered
- Core property list and detail views with advanced filtering and AI scoring overlays
- Interactive Plotly-based charts that made complex model calculations visually compelling
- Responsive, accessible interface optimized for executive demo environments
- Robust data handling layer to gracefully manage incomplete or inconsistent API responses
- Clean component architecture that the client’s team could easily extend post-delivery
Results
- Delivered a polished, demo-ready frontend on schedule within the 30-day sprint
- Enabled enterprise stakeholders to directly interact with AI-driven insights through an intuitive interface
- Provided comprehensive handoff documentation and code walkthrough for seamless transition
- Helped the client secure ongoing enterprise interest and follow-up meetings
Takeaway
By embedding an experienced frontend engineer directly into the client’s team, we transformed raw backend complexity into a compelling product experience. This engagement demonstrated how strategic consulting partnerships can unlock immediate value from existing technical investments, allowing our client to focus on their core competencies while we handled the specialized frontend delivery.
