Project Description
Wealth Projector is an amazing website that helps individual's understand their current finances and project scenarios for their future.
Wealth Projector is a one-stop shop for understanding an individual's financial situation. It models their financial future, calculates their net worth, values their home, and graphically shows whether they are on track for a comfortable lifestyle over the coming years. Catering for both pre-retirement and post-retirement scenarios, its content is crafted around the inputs of the individual - they are free to provide as much or as little data as they want.
By utilising the most cutting-edge technology, Kennard Consulting delivered a system able to produce Wealth Reports in real time, despite their complexity. The system employed AngularJS, KineticJS, MetawidgetJS and other JavaScript libraries on the front end, and CDI, JAX-RS, MongoDB and other Java EE technologies on the back end, along with a raft of supporting technologies including (in alphabetical order) AJAX, CSS, HTML, JAAS, JavaScript, JSON, JSON Schema, JMS, REST, SVG, SQL, XML, XSL-FO and XSL-T.
In 2020, Wealth Projector was acquired by IOOF, the largest financial planning company in Australia.

Wealth Projector used a gamification approach and had a very nice UX. To me it was the pick of this genre of demos.
