OceanGrid AI: Marine Resource Intelligence Platform

Job ID: 39673861

Budget: ₹75,000 – ₹150,000 INR

Project Brief: Full Stack Development of "OceanGrid AI"

Project Title:

Development of “OceanGrid AI” – A Web & Mobile Platform for Marine Resource Intelligence


---

Objective:

To build OceanGrid AI, an integrated geospatial + AI-powered platform that maps, analyzes, and visualizes marine mineral/oil/gas resource potential in Indian Ocean territories (starting with India’s EEZ), and ultimately enables commercial, environmental, and strategic exploitation of these resources using AI insights.


---

Project Scope:

You will develop the first functional MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of OceanGrid AI including:

1. User Dashboard (Web & Mobile):

Geospatial map of Indian Ocean with interactive layers.

Mineral deposit visualizations (uploadable via datasets or simulated data).

Satellite image viewer + bathymetric overlays.

Resource heatmap (oil, manganese, hydrocarbons, REEs).

AI-predicted zones of high potential (color-coded).


2. AI Module (Back-end):

Basic ML algorithm to simulate resource prediction zones based on known data.

Future scope: Plug into ocean sensor APIs, satellite feeds.


3. Data Layer Integrations:

Marine topography (use public NOAA, ISRO, or GEBCO datasets).

Indian EEZ boundaries.

Overlay: shipping lanes, seafloor types, tectonic boundaries.


4. Admin Panel:

Upload/import new datasets (CSV, GeoTIFF, JSON).

Moderate user access.

Manage prediction model parameters (via UI sliders).


5. User Features:

Search, filter by mineral/oil type, coordinates, EEZ zones.

Download reports.

Login with OTP/email (no Google auth needed for MVP).

Save/view bookmarks of zones.



---

Tech Stack (Suggested):

Frontend: React.js (web), React Native or Flutter (mobile)

Backend: Python (FastAPI or Django)

Map Layer: Leaflet.js, Mapbox, or Cesium.js

Database: PostgreSQL + PostGIS

AI/ML: scikit-learn or TensorFlow (basic models for MVP)

Hosting: AWS or DigitalOcean

Version Control: GitHub or GitLab



---

Security & IP Protection:

You must agree to the following before work starts:

1. NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) – Mandatory before project details are shared.


2. IP Assignment Agreement – All code, models, and designs created belong 100% to the client (me).


3. No reuse or resale of code, datasets, UI, or backend components.


4. No outsourcing without prior written approval.


5. Use of private Git repo (access controlled).

Budget:

Initial MVP: ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000 (INR) / $750 to $2000 (USD)
(Depending on skill, speed, and quality)

Bonus for early delivery and future equity options if performance exceeds expectations.


---

Timeline:

Week 1: UX wireframes + project planning

Week 2–3: Frontend + map integrations

Week 3–4: Backend + ML model + basic AI predictions

Week 5: Testing + UI polish

Week 6: Final handoff + deployment



---

Ideal Developer/Team:

Experience in geospatial applications, Mapbox, PostGIS.

Strong in full-stack web/mobile dev (React + Python).

Bonus: Past work in climate/ocean/defense data or AI
