Projects

Climate Change Property Analysis

One of the projects that I am most proud of is the Climate Change and Property Analysis project, where I played a significant role as a UX/UI designer and full stack developer. This single-page website displays sentiment analysis of properties listed on Zillow, showing how climate change predictions could affect them in the next 30-45 years. I designed the front end using the React framework and architected the UX and UI overhaul for the project, which greatly improved the overall user experience. My work on this project allowed users to make more informed decisions about their property investments by understanding the potential risks posed by climate change. In addition to the front-end design, I deployed the application to an AWS Ubuntu EC2 server and implemented an ExpressJS server and a PostgreSQL database for the backend. I also deployed a PostgreSQL RDS database on Amazon RDS for quick address lookup, integrating the ProPublica climate change report and all United States zip codes. My work on the Climate Change and Property Analysis project is something I take great pride in, as it combined my technical expertise with my passion for addressing pressing environmental concerns.See More
