Envi Rescue
Gamified recycling and waste management — built with fewer AI calls and optimised graphics.
The Big Picture
What I Built
Next.js frontend with deliberately constrained AI API usage — a key green software principle. Graphics are optimised using CSS animations over heavy JS libraries where possible. Component rendering is lazy-loaded to reduce CPU overhead. The result is a measurably lower-carbon app footprint.
What Makes It Cool
- ✦Green Software Engineering course project
- ✦Reduced AI API call count by design
- ✦Optimised graphics rendering
- ✦Shalom handled all frontend engineering
Real-World Impact
Why This Matters
Environmental apps often use bloated architectures. For our Green Software Engineering course, we deliberately engineered Envi Rescue to minimise AI API calls and optimise rendering — and it worked.
Role & Contributors
Behind The Scenes
How It Works
Minimal external API surface. No user data collected beyond session interaction. All assets statically hosted to reduce compute load.
