  The world's best real estate search for realtor websites. I rebuilt the entire platform from scratch to lead the market with the next step in real estate sales engagement. This included a brand-new data processing pipeline custom-built for the realities of today's MLS data infrastructure. With the help of my team, we designed and implemented the best-in-class lead engagement platform for the real estate market. We built the tools that empower some of the top-performing brokers in the country to continue to lead the pack. This new platform has driven triple-digit growth for Showcase IDX, but more importantly has doubled lead engagement for agents on their websites.
