Overview

RentBase is a US-based Rental Leads CRM and Listings Database automating the relationship between landlords, agents, and renters. I joined as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer in a lean three-person core team, working in a tight feedback loop with the CEO — a former Lead at Zillow. I owned the entire frontend and contributed significantly to backend APIs and third-party integrations.

The Challenge

With a three-person team and no QA engineer, manual testing of the lengthy onboarding and listing flows was a critical bottleneck that threatened deployment stability.
