What I built
- Developed the mobile app with React Native, architecting the full screen flow from onboarding to AI-generated route output.
- Integrated an AI layer for smart itinerary planning and contextual narration of each visited location, simulating a local guide experience.
- Designed the full UI in Figma covering all final and MVP screens, and published the landing page at soraguide.app.
- Built export flows for routes to Google Maps and PDF, including local essentials, audio stories, and packing tips.
