Kālā Forecast
Overview
Kālā Forecast is a full-stack financial sustainability platform built for Spire Financial.

Tech Stack
Built on the Meteor framework with MongoDB and a React front-end, the platform delivers a customized experience per user role within the organization.
Key features:
- Role-based account management tailored to individual needs within the company
- Stress testing against audited financial data
- Sustainability model views and scenario analysis
- Workpaper creation, editing, and review
- Dynamic forecasting outcome charts and graph views
Takeaways
This project gave me experience building financial tooling in a team environment — balancing a polished UI with meaningful back-end logic like database-driven calculations and multi-role access control. Coordinating across a seven-person team also strengthened my ability to manage scope and communicate across parallel workstreams.
