CrossBorder

New! July 8, 2026

A practical Canada/U.S. travel dashboard for the small conversions that slow people down at the border.

CrossBorder helps travellers understand local weather, speed, shopping costs, fuel prices, restaurant tips, customs allowances, nearby help, and border wait times in familiar units and currencies.

AI In This Project

How AI fits into the work while product, architecture, security, and quality decisions stay human-owned.

Used agents to speed up mobile UX iteration, calculator logic, and edge-case checks

Kept calculation behavior grounded in explicit domain rules and user-facing estimate language

Kept privacy, offline behavior, and degraded modes clear while moving quickly

Product Context

Built as a utility rather than a booking, banking, navigation, or customs declaration app

Designed for Canadian travellers in the U.S. and American travellers in Canada

Emphasizes fast answers, large readable numbers, and plain-English estimates
