Digital Home Platform: a record of every home

Designed and architected from scratch, and the first version built myself. It runs the MyHome app and is the backend future homeowner products build on.

The problem

Home information was scattered and often mistyped, so there was nothing reliable to build a homeowner experience on.

What I did

  • A record of every home. Designed and architected it from scratch, and built the first version myself.
  • Matching and confidence scoring. Ties each home's installed equipment to the right product models.
  • AI workflows. Correct mistyped data and fetch the manuals and documents for each home.
  • Scorecards. Came up with and built custom scorecards that rate each supplier and facility on match rates and show where the opportunities are.
  • Integrations. Connect it to Salesforce, lending, and other enterprise systems.
Nothing reliable to build on, until there was a record of every home.

What changed

  • Hundreds of thousands of homes in the system.
  • It powers the MyHome app.
  • It's the backend future homeowner products build on.

In my words

Fix the data, and the experience follows.
