MyCarDashboard

Problem Statement

Keeping track of a car's health, trips, and maintenance history is tedious with paper logs and generic apps that don't integrate sensor data. I wanted a fully custom, real-time platform that treats my car as a connected device.

My Role

End-to-end solo project — product design, backend architecture, frontend implementation, infrastructure, and deployment.

Architecture

The platform follows a clean, event-driven architecture:

• .NET backend exposes REST APIs consumed by the Angular dashboard
• PostgreSQL stores trips, events and vehicle metadata
• Redis powers real-time pub/sub for live telemetry
• Docker Compose orchestrates all services locally and on the VPS
• Grafana + Loki provide observability dashboards and log aggregation

Key Features

• Trip tracking — automatic start/end detection, route map replay, distance and duration stats
• Maintenance alerts — configurable mileage / time-based reminders with push notifications
• Personalized dashboards — fuel economy trends, cost per km, maintenance history
• Real-time notifications — alerts for anomalies detected by OBD-II sensor data
