Dispatch
Ranking nearby drivers
I implemented a Go service that ranked dispatch candidates using H3’s hierarchical hexagonal geospatial index. The service turned live location and trip context into an ordered set of drivers for assignment.

The role
What I was there to do
The Drivers Cooperative was building a worker-owned alternative to conventional ride-hailing platforms. I worked on the systems that matched drivers to trips and gave operations teams a live view of vehicles in the field.

The work behind the bullets
Operations
A live view of the fleet
I also built a real-time administrative interface with TypeScript, React, Google Maps, Hasura, and GraphQL. It gave the operations team a practical way to follow vehicles and understand what the dispatch system was doing.
