Project Overview
A centralized web dashboard that provides real-time operational visibility across multiple distributed field sites. The application integrates live video feeds, device detection events, station health monitoring, and configuration management into a unified interface used by operations personnel for infrastructure oversight.
System Architecture
A React single-page application communicating with multiple backend services via REST APIs and WebSocket connections. The dashboard aggregates data from detection systems, video streaming services, and device monitoring platforms.

Dashboard Modules
Station Overview
Interactive map and list views showing all monitored sites with real-time health indicators and quick-access controls.
Live Video
Multi-camera video player with PTZ control integration, stream switching, and automatic fallback for connectivity issues.
Event Management
Real-time detection event feed with filtering, search, and historical playback of recorded event footage.
System Administration
Station configuration, device management, user administration, and system health diagnostics.

Skills Demonstrated
Real-Time Data Visualization
WebSocket-driven event streaming with efficient state management for high-frequency updates across multiple data sources.
Video Streaming Integration
Browser-based video playback supporting multiple protocols (HLS, MJPEG) with PTZ camera control and adaptive quality.
Complex State Management
Redux Toolkit architecture managing station configurations, device states, user sessions, and real-time event queues.
Responsive Dashboard Design
Multi-panel layout with resizable components, responsive breakpoints, and optimized rendering for operational workflows.
API Integration Layer
Typed API client consuming multiple backend services with error handling, retry logic, and authentication token management.
Cross-Service Coordination
Frontend orchestration of data from detection, streaming, and monitoring services into a coherent operational interface.
Engineering Scope
The project required addressing challenges across multiple frontend engineering domains:
- High-frequency WebSocket event rendering without UI jank
- Multi-source video playback with protocol negotiation and fallback
- Complex form state for station configuration with validation
- Role-based access control integrated with backend authentication
- Offline-resilient design for intermittent network connectivity
- Performance optimization for dashboards displaying 10+ simultaneous data feeds
Project Outcomes
Deployed as the primary operational interface for field infrastructure monitoring, used daily by operations staff for real-time oversight and incident response.
