Travel Information Digital Signage Ecosystem
✅ Single-handedly developed, deployed, and maintained this system from start to finish, including 3 frontend services, 1 backend service, 1 CMS, and Azure cloud deployment
✅ Delivered 250% more scope than originally planned within the same timeline
✅ Reduced HKD7000+ monthly cost along with eliminating 60% of data inconsistencies across multiple services
What is this project about?
This was an extremely exciting opportunity to work with a major public transport operator to revolutionize how travelers access information on-the-go.
I single-handedly developed and deployed a comprehensive digital signage ecosystem, including street-level wayfinding maps, multiple exit boards for train stations, a webapp to search for points of interest, and a backend as well as a CMS for easy data management for the internal staff.
Takeaway #1: 💻 Vibe Coding Works!
This was a great project for me to test out my latest setup with Gen-e2 and AI-enhanced development process, and it worked amazing.
It was not perfect - there were still some fine-tuning I had to do with the instructions, prompts, workflows, and the way I was providing the context to Copilot.
But overall, it was one of those projects where the requirements and scope were constantly changing on a daily basis and I was extremely anxious day and night if I would be able to deliver all the requirements on time.
Despite my worries, I ended up overdelivering by 250% of the original scope within the same timeline, while maintaining high quality and stability.
I am super proud of this achievement and it's given me more proof and confidence that I'm going in the right direction with my AI-powered development process and Gen-e2 methodology.
Takeaway #2: 📆 Project Management is more important than you think
This project had a lot of moving parts and tight deadlines, so I had to be very organized and efficient with my time.
Especially with requirements and scope changing so often, I learned the hard way that simply being efficient and productive cannot out-produce a well-managed project.
Even after all these years of developing software, managing a project while developing and managing a project alone proves to be an extremely challenging task.
