Real-Time Project Tracking Platform
One-liner: A lightweight platform that gives leaders instant visibility into progress, budgets, and delivery risk so teams ship on time.
The challenge
Deadlines slipped and budgets crept because progress and spend were visible only after the fact. We needed real-time insight that fit existing workflows and nudged teams toward better outcomes.
The solution
A web and desktop app that centralizes live project data, ties progress to budgets, and guides teams with smart prompts.

How we built it
Discovery → Design → Build → Pilot → Iterate
Discovery: Stakeholder interviews, workflow mapping, success metrics.
Design: System model, UX flows, reusable component library for speed and consistency.
Build: API and data pipeline, real-time UI, secure auth.
Pilot: Two-team rollout to validate accuracy, alerts, and nudges.
Iterate: Tuned dashboards, thresholds, and permissions from pilot feedback.
Tech stack
Backend: NestJS, PostgreSQL
Frontend: React with a custom component library (Storybook)
Desktop: Electron for cross-platform delivery
CI/CD: GitHub Actions with AWS deployments
Outcomes
