Overview

FusionFlirt was my A-Level Computer Science NEA project — a fully self-hosted dating platform built from scratch with XAMPP.

The core philosophy was accuracy over volume: rather than swiping on photos, users complete extensive questionnaires and the algorithm surfaces high-compatibility matches based on detailed preference and personality data.

Features

• Compatibility matching — multi-dimensional questionnaire scoring to rank matches by compatibility percentage
• End-to-end encrypted messaging — private conversations between matched users with message encryption
• User profiles with photos, bios, and interest tags
• Match feed — ranked list of compatible users with match score displayed

Technical Highlights

• PHP backend with MySQL for user data, match scores, and message storage
• Python scripts for the compatibility scoring algorithm
• End-to-end message encryption implemented at the application layer
• Fully self-hosted via XAMPP
