 - CAPSTONE PROJECT
planinsight.co.uk  Working as  a  Construction  Architect, one aspect of my job was advising  clients how long it would take for a local authority to issue a decision notice. Therefore, I created planinSight, an app that analyzes past planning applications. It  provides construction professionals an insight into how long it actually takes for an application with similar constraints / parameters to be determined.
It uses a scraper to fetch vast amounts of public  data on planning applications and my own algorithms displayed using React-ChartJs.
