1.The Problem

Organizations considering a move to Winnipeg have to weigh a scatter of city data — zoning, budgets, services — that the City of Winnipeg publishes as open datasets but doesn't present as a comparison tool. WinLocate turns that data into something a relocation decision can actually be made from: side-by-side location comparisons, zoning maps, and budget estimates.


2.The Build

The platform pulls City of Winnipeg open data through the Socrata API and turns separate municipal datasets into interactive comparisons, maps, and planning tools — rather than requiring a user to interpret raw open-data tables themselves. I worked on the React interface, the data-driven workflows that drive those comparisons, and the integration of the underlying Socrata datasets.
