- As a part of the Water Treatment Technology Selection Guide team, I will contribute contributed to the development of an interactive tool which educates users about the different water treatment technologies available to them. I engaged in preliminary literature review surveying potential treatment options before designing the layout of a clean, modern, multi-page website built to provide treatment recommendations. I coded the stylesheets for the website in CSS, implemented form functionality using PHP and HTML, and worked to improve user interactivity with liberal use of JavaScript. Great consideration was given to minimizing user memory load and to making form inputs accessible to those without technical knowledge. I began preparations to deploy the site live on the AguaClara server, and worked to set up MySQL databases that will be used to log user input. Throughout the semester, I paid special attention to user experience, implementing features like parallax scrolling, maintained scroll position between pages, and pre-populated user inputs when users revisit site pages.
