Community Connect Mobile App

I'm looking to develop a mobile app that connects people with similar needs into a community and also helps them find essential professional services. The app should facilitate community engagement and service accessibility.

Key Features:
The app should have integration for background checks as a requirement when they create an account. Once they have an account they can share a location to meet up that will send a notification to others in the area who could respond with an option to join. People can also create geographic clubs for others to join that will create a group chat thread. There is also a way to register your account as a professional service provider , that again requires background checks, but also allows you to list your services. If you are a professional service other members are allowed to rate your service and all transactions for the service can be handled through the app.

User Authentication:
- Phone number verification for secure sign-up.
- Integrated background check through a background check service

Ideal Skills & Experience:
- Mobile app development (iOS & Android)
- Experience with user authentication systems
- UI/UX design for community engagement platforms
- Backend development for service directories and chat forums

Looking for a developer who can bring this vision to life efficiently and effectively.
