Senior Fullstack Engineer (React.js / Ant Design & Node.js/Strapi.js) – Azure Cloud IRC274142

Description

The project involves two main applications:

1. The first application is designed to visualize and analyze the estimated environmental footprint of a project during the tender stage. This application helps our client respond to proposals by providing an environmental footprint estimation for various pieces of equipment they sell. It currently has blueprints for about 11 items. The application generates reports that are included in the tender response to clients.
2. The second application performs an environmental impact assessment and generates reports for the actual construction phase of a project. It collects carbon and environmental impact data across five categories: site usage (water, electricity, materials), people traveling to and from the site, machinery used on site, and shipping for materials going back and forth from the site.

The project’s tech stack consists of a React-based static website with Ant Design for styling on the front end, and an API built on Strapi.js (an open-source Node.js headless CMS) with a MySQL backend. The application is hosted on Azure.

GL will contribute to enhancing the applications with new features such as:

• Implement an administrative UI/UX
• Develop a new product environmental footprint methodology
• Capture user feedback
• Add project statuses
• Link both applications together
• Enhance transparency on carbon footprint calculations
• Improve filtering
• Add project-level permissions
• Implement a bulk change feature
