From Chaos to Control: Building SmartStadia for Smarter Stadiums

Large-scale stadium events often come with one common problem — long queues, crowd congestion, and missed moments.
To address this, I built SmartStadia, a real-time stadium experience system designed to make live events smoother and more efficient.
💡 What it does
SmartStadia helps users:
Enter stadiums using QR-based smart entry

Check real-time queue times
Access live match streaming inside the app
Navigate using crowd heatmaps
Receive instant notifications for updates
⚙️ Tech Stack
Frontend: React + Vite
Backend: Node.js + Express
UI: Tailwind CSS
Real-Time Simulation: Dynamic state updates (mock WebSocket behavior)
Deployment: Google Cloud Run (serverless)
Containerization: Docker + Nginx
🧠 Key Learnings
