Summary

Engineered high-performance, full-stack solutions for carbon accounting, focusing on data extraction, access control, and robust testing frameworks to drive operational efficiency and data integrity.

Highlights

Engineered a browser-side per-pixel raster extraction engine, converting hover coordinates to Web Mercator tile XYZ, drawing COG tiles from TiTiler, and inverting colormap rescale to recover exact NDVI, NDMI, MSAVI, and NDRE values, supported by a 50-tile LRU cache and 30ms debounce.

Designed a 3-level RBAC permission tree with precomputed ancestor and descendant maps, ensuring granular access control that guides users to upgrade paths instead of silently hiding features.

Built a comprehensive regression testing platform utilizing Vitest across hooks and API clients, and a Playwright suite covering every route, capturing UI login as storage state and reporting DOM snapshots, network payloads, and video in HTML for robust quality assurance.

Developed a GDD chart in raw D3 with linear scales, monotone-curve generators, mean ±1σ confidence ribbon, and cumulative-sum derived series, animated via framer-motion path tweens, for advanced data visualization.
