A production-grade AI-powered food rescue logistics system built with Java 21 and Spring Boot.
Food waste is a global problem. This system connects food donors (restaurants, supermarkets) with recipients (food banks, shelters) and uses AI to optimize pickup and delivery routes — minimizing distance, saving fuel, and ensuring food reaches people before it spoils.
- Donor Registration — donors submit available food items with quantity and expiry time
- AI Route Optimizer — Timefold solver assigns vehicles to pickups using constraint-based optimization
- ML Spoilage Scorer — logistic regression model predicts spoilage risk based on food category, temperature, and hours until expiry
- Automated Database Migrations — Flyway manages schema versioning
- Cloud Deployed — running on AWS ECS Fargate with RDS PostgreSQL
- Java 21, Spring Boot 3.4.4
- Timefold AI (constraint solver)
- Smile (machine learning)
- PostgreSQL + Flyway
- Docker, AWS ECS, AWS RDS
