What we've delivered

Approval routing rebuild

A finance team was losing 2 hours a day moving approvals between three systems by hand. We replaced that with one intake and routing engine that assigns each item, alerts the right reviewer, and records every decision.

Live reporting layer

A 35-person logistics startup ran on 5 hand-maintained spreadsheets. We designed one data model the whole team agreed on, built a sync layer across 4 sources, and cut 3 hours of manual reporting a week.

Access control retrofit

A healthcare SaaS needed granular access control on an admin panel their own engineers had scoped at 6 months. The compliance deadline was 6 weeks out. We shipped a custom RBAC layer in 4 weeks, compliance-ready, with zero accidental data exposure incidents since launch.

Approval cycle cut from 4 days to same-day, with 0 missed approvals across 6 months

Approvals in first 6 months

"We used to start every morning digging through three different tabs before we could even see what needed attention. Now the queue is just there."

The problem

The team ran approvals across three disconnected systems. One handled intake, one managed review, and a shared inbox was the routing layer. Every morning, someone pulled items from the first, checked status in the second, and forwarded each one to the right reviewer by email.

Two hours of this, every day. When reviewers were out or slow, nothing moved and nobody knew why. Approval cycle averaged 4 days.

Approvals slipped through the cracks, and when they did, there was no audit trail showing who had seen the item or where it stalled.

Our approach

  • Built a unified intake pipeline that pulls from all three source systems on a schedule, with no manual export needed
  • Custom routing engine applies business rules to assign each item to the right reviewer based on type, value, and availability
  • Slack alerts carry the full context of each new assignment, so reviewers can triage without logging in
  • Review queue in a plain web interface, with every detail for the decision on one screen
  • Full audit log on every state change from assignment through final approval, exportable for compliance

What this work proves

Shipping against a date

All three shipped in 8 weeks or less. Scoping tight and delivering is the same skill whether the deliverable is a first release or a fix.

Building a first version

Reading code before changing it

The access control build started with an audit of routes and data access. That audit found the legacy coupling that decided the design.

Code audit

Working inside someone else's constraints

A legacy data model that could not be migrated. An in-house estimate that did not fit the deadline. The retrofit shipped inside those constraints without touching the data model.
