Cognitive Toybox Admin Dashboard
Background
This project was my first dip into client work for a startup focused on social good, and I was really excited to spend time working with a company whose mission was really impactful and special. Cognitive Toybox is a small startup in Brooklyn dedicated to creating educational assessment games for low-income neighborhood schools. Once Cognitive Toybox had released their product into schools, they found that they had little observability into how their product was being used, making further product iteration difficult and mysterious.
Solution
My team and I decided to build a fullstack web application using React, Node, and various AWS tools to help them visualize trends in the data they collect from schools, so they could unlock further potential with their product. Lots of the work involved creating the frontend to present the data in a user-friendly and fun way, so we used a high-level abstraction over D3.js called Recharts so that we could iterate quickly and deliver something really polished.
