Fish Count Platform

Client: ADF&G (Public Sector)

Problem

Real-time biological monitoring data on the Kenai River was siloed and difficult for the public to access during critical peak run cycles.

Approach

Designed a high-availability dashboard that polls state-level sonar data and renders it via a static-first React architecture. Reliability was the secondary objective—latency the primary.

Execution

Built using Vite and Tailwind CSS, deployed via Cloudflare's edge network. The system uses zero-egress R2 storage for asset delivery and aggressive ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) logic to maintain sub-100ms response times.

Outcome

Successfully handled seasonal traffic spikes of 50k+ daily users without a single service interruption. Established as the authoritative source for Kenai River sonar metrics.
