Social Dating & Matchmaking Platform

A secure discovery and social matchmaking ecosystem connecting verified singles through proximity algorithms, preference filters, and real-time chat.

PHP MVC Laravel MySQL Spatial WebSockets (Ratchet/Pusher) Image Filters Redis

The Core Challenge

Spam bot accounts, catfish profiles, unsolicited image distribution, and delayed message delivery causing user churn.

Architectural Solution

Implemented mandatory selfie gesture verification, automated NSFW photo blur filters, and low-latency WebSocket messaging pipelines.

Complete System Execution Flow

Profile Creation & Verification

Users register, answer personality preference prompts, and submit a gesture selfie for verification approval.

Proximity Discovery Feed

Geospatial algorithms serve candidate profiles within defined geographic radii and age brackets.

Double-Opt-In Matching

Profiles swipe right (like) or left (pass); matching happens only when mutual attraction is confirmed.

Secure WebSocket Chat

Matched pairs unlock real-time encrypted messaging with typing indicators, ephemeral media, and reporting tools.
