FISHWS Data System

Client: Commercial Fisheries

Problem

Commercial fishermen lacked a centralized, fast, and mobile-friendly system to access critical weather, tide, and harvest data while at sea on low-bandwidth connections.

Approach

Engineered an aggressively minimal, text-first progressive web app (PWA) designed specifically for satellite and edge-of-network marine connectivity.

Execution

Developed a custom API aggregator that polls NOAA, ADF&G, and localized sensors. The frontend caches data aggressively via Service Workers for offline access.

Outcome

Became a critical daily operational tool for the Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet commercial fleets, ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
