01 / Challenge

The workflow before the system

Field teams need timely visibility into sensor readings, irrigation status, alerts, and resource usage.

02 / Approach

How I designed the response

A role-aware dashboard connects telemetry, maps, alert states, rules, and operator actions.

Real-time sensor monitoring
Irrigation controls
Weather integration
Alert timeline
Rule engine
Water usage analytics

03 / Outcome

Shows how data-heavy dashboards can turn raw operational data into decisions and follow-up actions.

04 / Workflow

Before

  • Check separate systems for sensor readings, weather, and irrigation status
  • Manually decide when to act
  • Prepare reports after the fact

With the system

  • Review field status and sensor trends
  • Inspect alerts and weather context
  • Trigger or schedule irrigation actions
  • Review resource usage and cost data

05 / Engineering proof

Architecture

  • Next.js operator dashboard
  • NestJS API with PostgreSQL/PostGIS for operational records
  • MQTT ingestion for device data
  • Redis and time-series storage patterns for live telemetry
  • Maps and charts for field visibility

Verified evidence

  • Vault catalog identifies this as a dashboard/admin-surface portfolio reference
  • README documents sensor monitoring, irrigation control, alerts, weather, analytics, automation rules, MQTT topics, and API endpoints

06 / Judgment

Tradeoffs

  • Needs live device or simulator proof before making production claims
  • Demo data should be clearly labeled to avoid fake metrics

Why it matters

  • Shows dashboard and operations-portal capability
  • Maps well to client work involving data visibility, reporting, and operational control

What this proves

I can design and build data-heavy dashboards where the UI supports real operational decisions.
