(ps: Currently maintained by another team)
Mumbai floods are scary and very real. We wanted to build something that helps people get warnings early, instead of finding out when water is already outside their door.
This project was part of a CSR collaboration between HDFC ERGO and the IIT Bombay Climate Center.
I led the technical development in a 20 plus member team and we built mumbaiflood.in as a full stack flood monitoring and warning platform. It had a fast React frontend, a Django backend, and a PostgreSQL pipeline to store forecasts, location data, and alerts.
On the ML side, we used weather forecast data (GFS) to predict rainfall and flood risk. We also pulled real time signals from Twitter to catch on ground reports, so the platform felt live and not just a static dashboard.
At peak, it served more than 10k weekly users. It is now maintained by another team, which is honestly a great feeling because it means the project kept living even after we moved on.
