Transition Check—Web App
The Client
With climate change imminent and affecting all industries, The United Nations Environment Programme partnered with Oliver Wyman to create a tool to help measure and calculate risk for financial institutions across all industries.
The Project
Our goal was to develop a user-friendly web application that transformed a complex Excel-based model into an accessible tool for financial institutions to assess climate-related risks. This transformation enabled banks to easily onboard and run various risk scenarios. The application features an engaging landing page and interactive scenario charts to educate users about the impacts of climate change. Additionally, scenarios run in the web tool took an average of 1 minute, significantly faster than the 30 minutes required by the Excel model.
The web tool was announced and showcased at NYC Climate Week in 2020 and was broadly recognized within Oliver Wyman winning an innovation award.
My Involvement
- Front-End: I was responsible for building the entire front-end of the engaging landing page and web tool using React.
- Back-End: I collaborated closely with another software engineer and a data scientist to develop the back-end infrastructure.
- Deployment and Containerization: I managed the deployment and containerization of the application using Docker, Jenkins, and AWS.
