• Community Grid is a Blockchain POC that we created for electrical grid companies. The aim of the project was to demonstrate the use of blockchain in distributed microgrids that use renewable energy as their source. We have created an energy marketplace for renewable energy. There are buyers and sellers in this marketplace. Sellers are small-scale energy producers that use renewable energy such as solar, wind, and bio. They can list the unit of energy they produce in the marketplace and buyers can bid on the unit of energy. Once the buyer wins the auction, the smart energy meter is updated. They are allowed to use the energy they have won.

• Research on the distributed microgrid
• Come up with architecture and design for the implementation
• Create the backend using Node JS, MongoDB,  Express JS
•  Integrate the backend with Blockapps STRATO(Managed Blockchain supports solidity and ethereum )
• Developed frontend using React, JS ,HTML,CSS and Javascript
• Dockerize and deploy the application on AWS

• NSW Blockchain Proof of Concept is an application built for the bid for the New South Wales Building regulation Government use case. It was a web application that was built to demonstrate the power of the blockchain in use in building regulations and management of official documentation. We build this POC in collaboration with Equifax.

• Do initial research for the POC
• Create the document store and retrieve architecture that uses IPFS
• Create the backend client in Node.JS and Express.JS that interacts with IPFS
• Developed frontend using React JS ,HTML,CSS and Javascript
