Building an Energy and Carbon Reporting Platform to be Accessed by the Public
Completed as part of APS112 - Engineering Strategies and Practice II

Building off of problem-solving and adaptation skills developed in ESPI, ESPII allowed me and my team to interact and work directly with a client, on a real-world problem.
Our group was given a project, working with the City of Toronto on their Net-Zero by 2030 mission, focusing primarily on reducing household greenhouse gas emissions and energy use intensity. Our goal was to create an interactive display to inform households of their individual impacts on the environment and suggest ways to reduce their footprint.
As Project Manager, I worked jointly with the Team Leader to guide our team through this new challenge. I primarily managed technical specifications and design aspects of the design, assigning tasks to other team members as necessary.
I helped oversee our team of 6 and ensured that our project and deliverables were coming along on time, and high in quality. After following a very similar design process to APS111, and working closely with our client, our team was ready to create a proposed design.
I took this upon myself and worked tirelessly to build our platform from the ground up. I incorporated my past experience in web design and development and effectively employed the use of online tools and software to bring our vision to life. After some iterating, our team came up with a final design, which we then presented to our client and members of the public.
We conducted tests, and measures of success to ensure that all client needs, wants, and constraints were met. Our final design optimized efficiency and usability, with an average page findability time of under 10 seconds.
Funnily enough, recently, my hometown of Saskatoon released a very similar product, with much the same features and designs as what we had proposed!
