Phipps Dashboard

for a non-profit org, a dashboard on environmentally sustainable living

Comment

Project Opportunity

The dashboard was built in a partnership with Phipps Conservatory of Pittsburgh. The partnership was developed as part of an IT Consulting course at CMU.

Specifically, one building at Phipps is focuses on and implements sustainable living - including areas like renewable energy, proper water treatment, and promotion of clean air quality. Phipps came to us with bunch of data and asked us to build a system that would allow them to utilize that data in education programs.

I was the developer and designer in a team of 3 students, which included a project manager and a data scientist.

Project Outcomes

The product focuses on being both:

  • a manageable, extensible content system
  • a well-designed, interactable data interface

I developed the dashboard and accompanying CMS from scratch over the course of one semester.

Technologies

The product is built with a web framework I developed in a previous semester - espresso.js. I took this approach as a challenge to myself to prove the rigor of that previous project, and for the WebSockets functionality.

I also used Vue.js.
