CASE FILE / Full Stack / Environmental Data / Dashboards
MasterAQAir Quality Monitoring & Prediction Platform
Worked on a full-stack air-quality platform combining environmental measurements, dashboards, prediction workflows and report generation.
01–02 / OPENING SEQUENCE
Establishing the world
01 / Establishing Shot
The Problem
Environmental measurements become more useful when users can move from raw readings into monitoring, prediction and reporting through a single coherent product.
02 / Wide Shot
The Context
MasterAQ is a full-stack air-quality application structured around several interconnected environmental-data workflows.

THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
The platform contained several distinct product workflows that needed to share data and UI patterns without becoming tightly coupled.
05 / TRACKING SHOT
THE APPROACH
A plan emerges.
The application uses Next.js and reusable React components, with API routes and server-facing actions connecting the frontend to underlying data services.
