How I Built It:

I developed ParkEase as a college project with a focus on solving real-world parking management challenges. The application was structured with a clear separation between admin and user roles using RBAC principles. Admin functionalities like parking lot creation, pricing, and analytics were integrated into a dedicated dashboard, while users were provided with a seamless interface for browsing and booking parking slots. I implemented time-based pricing logic, automated cron jobs for reporting, and added PWA support for installability. The project emphasizes scalability, usability, and real-time efficiency.

"ParkEase" delivers a smart and efficient parking experience by bridging the gap between parking providers and users through automation and intuitive design.
