EcoFun was commissioned by a client building a sustainability education initiative. The brief: take the UN Sustainable Development Goals — usually locked inside policy documents — and turn them into something people actually want to spend time with.
The platform runs on "Discover. Learn. Act." — explore curated content on seven environmental SDGs (clean water, clean energy, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, climate action, life below water, life on land), learn through a video library and an interactive SDG explorer, then act by taking on community challenges and tracking impact. It's built for anyone — a student, a teacher, someone who just clicked a link on social media — to pick up without prior context, which is the whole point: the gap it's closing is between knowing about a sustainability goal and actually doing something about it.
Since this is client work, I'm keeping this part light rather than walking through the stack. Two pieces are worth mentioning: a CMS that lets the client's team publish new videos and challenges themselves, without opening a code editor or filing a ticket with me; and a publishing pipeline that takes a single upload and pushes it out to YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram automatically, so the same clip isn't getting manually re-uploaded and reformatted four separate times.
The MVP is live and I'm the solo engineer behind it. It's an active project rather than a one-and-done build — the SDG explorer, video library, and challenges are out for real users today.
