01 / Overview
What this work was about
WaitTime is an API-first concept for turning location and demand signals into useful estimates about waiting and busy periods. The focus is a clean contract that developers can integrate.
02 / Challenge
The problem to solve
Wait-time information is difficult to express clearly: estimates are uncertain, demand patterns shift, and downstream teams need predictable API behavior and honest documentation.
03 / Approach
How I approached it
- Designed API-focused workflows for estimated queue times and busy-period intelligence.
- Explored access patterns and authentication appropriate for developer integrations.
- Outlined response concepts that can present likely busy periods and alternative locations.
- Created an API landing and documentation experience to make the interface approachable.
04 / Outcomes
The value and the result
API-firstIntegration approach
IteratingProduct status
This is a product exploration; estimated wait times must not be presented as guaranteed real-time ground truth.
05 / Perspective
What it taught me
Good API products balance a clear developer experience with transparent assumptions about the reliability of their estimates.
