Espectro Energy / portfolio

About: Espectro Energy was a beta platform built to help people make informed decisions about whether renewable energy can work for them. The user selects information about their energy needs and location, and then the platform gives them different scenarios about how viable renewable energy is for them and what the potential cost would be. Does the user want to focus on decreasing costs? On creating a system with the highest percentage of renewable energy possible? The platform is especially targeted towards users who live in parts of Colombia without access to the electricity grid.

Process: I worked as project manager and cartographer on this project during my time at CEELAT in Bogota, Colombia. I worked closely with web developers, designers, and renewable energy experts to flesh out the technical scope of the project, make sure that everything was running smoothly, and ensure that everyone was on the same page throughout the duration of the project. I conducted user testing with stakeholders, leading to additional improvements to the site. I was also in charge of the map creation, including styling the data in TileMill.
