Problem
People need a structured way to report lost items and reclaim found items without relying on scattered social media posts.

I built a platform where users can publish detailed lost/found reports, verify ownership, and let admins moderate suspicious or completed cases.
Impact
RetrieveX helped me practice relational backend thinking, verification logic, and community-focused product design.
