NOVA Digital Twin

Technical lead on a scenario-based digital twin for the UK Department for Business and Trade, scoring polygon suitability for renewables siting.

  • TypeScript
  • Turf.js
  • Reveal.js
  • GIS

Core problem

Policy teams needed a way to interrogate renewables siting decisions against multiple, weighted criteria — without waiting on bespoke GIS analysis. Decisions were being made on static maps that could not be re-scored when inputs or policies changed.

Business impact

Delivered a working digital twin upgrade within the sprint window. Acted as technical liaison across data, policy, and research teams — translating policy levers into MCE weightings and ensuring the tool was usable by non-technical stakeholders inside DBT and local councils.
