Community Hive
Founder & Developer — Jan 2025 – Apr 2026
Multi-Tenant Communication Platform for Strata & HOA Communities
Community Hive is a multi-tenant SaaS platform designed to centralize communication between property managers, strata councils, HOA boards, and residents. The system replaces fragmented tools (email chains, paper notices, social media groups) with a secure, structured, and scalable communication architecture. It supports multiple buildings, unit hierarchies, and role-based dashboards, enabling controlled document access, structured issue tracking, automated announcements, and AI-enhanced communication workflows.
