Tech Stack

Background

For my final year dissertation project, I developed a comprehensive COVID-19 Mashup Website, designed to provide users with a centralised hub for real-time information on the pandemic. The website consolidated data from multiple reputable sources, including UK and regional infection rates, vaccination progress, news, scholarly publications and ChatGPT integration. It also featured an interactive visualisation of the pandemic's progression and impact on various aspects of society. By utilising web scraping, API integration, and data analysis techniques, I effectively streamlined access to critical information, helping users stay informed and make data-driven decisions during a time of crisis.

What I learnt

• Integrated various APIs (GOV.UK API, WHO API), for efficient data retrieval and data visualisation and to provide a chatbot interface
• Integrated ChatGPT using the OpenAI API to provide a chatbot interface
• Learned about Express, CORS and how to successfully overcome these errors
• Integrated a Email API that allows you to send emails
