True Home
These are the steps that brought this project to life, and I hope you find it both informative and inspiring.
Project Idea
I embarked on this project motivated by a strong desire to help families in finding the ideal nursing home and to discover the best retirement states. I utilized Leaflet to map out all nursing homes, enabling users to explore numerous options seamlessly.
Data Cleaning
I used Python to clean and structure a complex dataset. This involved tasks like handling missing values, removing duplicates, and ensuring data accuracy and consistency. Python's versatility and libraries were instrumental in preparing the data for further analysis.
ETL with pgAdmin SQL
I employed pgAdmin SQL for efficient data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). SQL queries were used to extract, transform, and load the data into a PostgreSQL database, ensuring data integrity and accessibility, laying the foundation for the project's next phases.
Building API for Data Accessibility
I designed and developed a custom API to facilitate secure and efficient data retrieval, enabling seamless sharing of valuable insights with external applications and users. This pivotal step enhanced the project's functionality and data-driven capabilities.
Backend Development
In the project's backend development phase, I harnessed the power of JavaScript to create a robust and responsive platform. JavaScript provided the interactivity and functionality required to support the project's objectives.
Frontend Development
I modified HTML5 UP template to structure web pages and leveraged CSS and Sass to create visually appealing and consistent styles for the application. This combination of technologies resulted in a user-friendly interface that seamlessly integrated with the project's data-driven features.
