Pantograph is my first and flagship project. Born in late 2018 during my junior year at the University of Washington, my initial intent was just to learn a little bit more about how transit operations planning works.
In the process, I got a little carried away, taught myself to code, and released Pantograph in March 2019, then called the Puget Sound Transit Operations Tracker. It was featued in The Seattle Times, KING 5, GeekWire, and more.
It’s evolved a lot since then: Pantograph tracks over 30,000 vehicles across more than 100 agencies now, and I’m currently in the midst of a total backend rewrite in Swift (using the Vapor framework) with all the benefits of sharper programming skills and more intentioned product direction.
