As climate awareness grows, individuals are looking for actionable ways to reduce their personal carbon footprints. However, most carbon calculators are either too complex or offer generic, unhelpful advice.
To solve this, I built CarbonWise—a production-ready Carbon Footprint Awareness Platform. It combines deterministic scientific carbon calculations with real-time, personalized AI reduction strategies using the Groq LLM API.
Here is a technical deep-dive into how I built, secured, and optimized this application for the PromptWars: Virtual challenge.
The application is designed to be lightweight, secure, and highly performant, avoiding heavy framework overhead.
