Government dashboards and open data.
summary
Builds dashboards for NSW and federal agencies using Django backend and a pure JavaScript front end talking to a small REST API, with widgets defined by metadata and CKAN data.gov.au sources. Loader modules pull CSVs Excel zips JSON or scrape pages, often encountering malformed JSON, inconsistent LGA names and multiple divergent population projection files. One metric refreshes every 60 seconds; prototypes run but many planned features sit unused. Roadmap includes loader modules scrape and clean CSVs into reusable widget templates so non-developers can create views.
