Over a two-month period, contributed to the kartoza/africa_rangeland_watch repository by building three geospatial features focused on interactive map visualization and landscape analysis. Developed a new map page with React and TypeScript, integrating MapLibre GL JS for dynamic layer controls, basemap selection, and an analysis panel to support rangeland management decisions. Added a Community Areas feature that connects Google Earth Engine data to the frontend, enabling users to select and analyze community-level information. Implemented a Baseline Analysis API using Django and REST Framework, improving backend integration and code maintainability. The work enhanced data accessibility and analytical capabilities for land management workflows.
