Uber (Clone)

A ridesharing app clone built as an educational project to learn mobile app development with real-world integrations. This project focuses on understanding how to build complex mobile applications with payment processing, map integrations, and polished user experiences.

The goal was to recreate the core functionality of a ridesharing app — from booking rides and tracking drivers in real-time, to processing payments and managing user flows — all while learning best practices for mobile development.
