Mobile travel feed
A React Native feed for discovering travel posts, places and user-generated exploration content.
Product overview
An AI-powered mobile travel platform that helps people explore places, share travel moments, find nearby points of interest and plan trips with a conversational assistant.
Explorix is built with React Native and Expo for a cross-platform mobile experience covering the travel feed, maps, user profiles, uploads, GPS, camera access and offline storage.
FastAPI powers REST APIs, authentication, AI endpoints, POI retrieval, feed management and upload processing. PostgreSQL is the primary database, with PostGIS handling nearby place search, distance calculations, radius queries and geo-deduplication.
The AI layer uses Llama 3.2 for travel Q&A, recommendations and trip planning. MongoDB stores lightweight AI memory and chat context, while RAG grounds answers with places retrieved from PostgreSQL.

PostGIS powers ST_DWithin radius queries, ST_Distance calculations and nearby place discovery.
Users can upload travel content, manage profiles and contribute new places from the mobile app.
Llama 3.2 supports city exploration, travel Q&A, recommendations and trip planning.
PostgreSQL retrieval injects real place context into prompts before the assistant generates an answer.
JWT authentication and Google SSO support secure mobile sessions and quick onboarding.
The people behind the build — and exactly what they owned.
Originally built Explorix as his thesis project and owned the idea, product plan, architecture, design, backend, cloud, ML fine-tuning, RAG and AI layer.
Enhanced user matching in local places services and later improved the RAG connection using the data prepared for the product.
Worked with Manoj on frontend improvements and helped with fine-tuning data preparation, testing and DNS handling.
