Jungle Exotics rents a curated collection of supercars and luxury vehicles — Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, McLaren — delivered door-to-door across Los Angeles and Orange County, by appointment, with a direct concierge line.

I built the full rental software end to end, from the "make the arrival matter" front-of-house — collection browsing, vehicle detail, and booking — to the operations behind it.
