A social data platform that transforms data collection into a collaborative, privacy-safe experience.
[Problem Statement]
Small businesses and social science researchers struggle to gather reliable data. Existing tools lack flexibility and security, resulting in low participation rates and inconsistent data quality.
[Project Overview]
I designed an open Q&A platform with customizable, privacy-focused features to promote safe data contribution — resulting in :
-
higher participation through anonymous input
-
faster analysis with flexible visualizations
-
fewer harmful interactions via keyword filtering.
