Problem
Businesses needing aerial photography had no centralized marketplace to find, vet, and book drone operators — discovery relied on fragmented social groups, word of mouth, and zero trust signals.

Achievements
- Full booking & scheduling system shipped within hackathon timeframe
- JWT auth with role-based access for owners and clients
- MongoDB for flexible drone listings
- Rating and review system for trust signals
