Zoneomics — GIS Zoning Intelligence SaaS
The problem
Property research used to mean visiting multiple city planning sites, queuing at government offices and paying for each report by hand. Land-use zoning data in the United States is fragmented across thousands of municipal authorities, each publishing in a different format — so appraisers and investors were losing days to a data-gathering problem before any analysis started.
What I built
- The interactive Mapbox GIS mapping experience end to end — parcel-level zoom, zoning overlays and land parcel data — plus real-time zoning regulation search across 50+ cities.
- Web scrapers (Puppeteer) that pull zoning data from public municipal sources, replacing entire legacy municipal lookup workflows.
- A Stripe-powered payment system — Checkout plus webhook handling — covering both one-time report purchases and subscriptions.
- The SaaS dashboard for subscriptions, purchases and saved searches, with role-based authentication and deep-filter search.
- Geospatial data storage and query tuning across PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and technical SEO for programmatically generated city and zoning pages.
Outcome: Average property research dropped from 3 days to under 3 minutes, and the platform scaled to 10,000+ users across 50+ cities. It's used by enterprise clients including Redfin, CBRE, Moody's and Cushman & Wakefield.
