Safe Search Search and Rescue Platform

Problem

Search and rescue teams need reliable live communication, GPS tracking and map-based workflows for operational coordination.

My role

Bledar worked on geospatial frontend workflows, real-time communication and backend services.

Main features

• Map-based geospatial workflows
• React Leaflet integration
• Real-time GPS tracking
• Socket.IO communication
• Backend services
• Performance optimization for large datasets

Architecture

• React frontend with Leaflet mapping.
• NestJS backend services.
• PostgreSQL and Prisma data layer.
• Socket.IO for real-time communication.

Technical decisions

• Used Socket.IO for bidirectional real-time communication.
• Used Leaflet for geospatial map features.
• Focused performance work on large operational datasets.

Challenges

• Keeping map workflows responsive with large datasets.
• Handling live GPS and communication data in operational contexts.

Results or impact

• Delivered real-time and geospatial functionality for a search and rescue platform.
• Built backend and frontend pieces for operational coordination.

What I would improve next

• Add more offline and low-connectivity handling where needed.
• Document performance benchmarks for large datasets.
