§ 01 / Overview

A regional residential contractor was running Discovery, Design, Build, and Deliver across spreadsheets, email threads, and a patchwork of tools, with no shared source of truth and no reliable way to measure project health. We started with a data-maturity assessment and a prioritized roadmap, then built a serverless platform on AWS that manages the full lifecycle end-to-end: operational dashboards tied to real KPIs, AI-powered document review running in production, and purpose-built workflows for project managers, customers, and trade partners.

§ 02 / Challenge

What was getting in the way.

The team had no single system to manage the Discovery, Design, Build, and Deliver phases of their projects. There was no clear data strategy. Operational data was scattered across spreadsheets and disconnected tools with no way to measure project health against defined KPIs. PMs were coordinating with customers and partners through email, service catalogs were static, and document review was entirely manual. Off-the-shelf solutions were too expensive, too rigid, or required the team to change how they worked.

§ 03 / Solution

What we actually shipped.

We started with a current-state assessment and built a prioritized roadmap before writing a line of code. Then we designed a serverless application on AWS (Lambda for compute, Aurora Serverless for the database, and S3 with CloudFront for fast delivery) with a React frontend tailored to their workflows. The platform includes operational dashboards that give PMs real-time visibility into every active job, AI-powered document review via AWS Bedrock deployed as a reliable production tool, dynamic deliverable generation tied to project phases, customizable data and service catalogs, and distinct workflow paths for PM-to-customer and PM-to-partner collaboration.

CS / 01

One role-aware iOS app replacing spreadsheets and group chats: 24+ teams, 4 coaches, and hundreds of families on a single source of truth by spring 2027.

Sports & Training

A quickly growing regional basketball brand had outgrown the tools it started with. Coach scheduling, family communications, registration, and recurring tuition were spread across spreadsheets, group texts, and ad-hoc channels with no shared source of truth. We're partnering with the program owner to design and build a custom native iOS app that consolidates the program onto one surface coaches, parents, and players actually use, purpose-built for how this program operates and architected as a foundation for AI-powered capabilities that will compound value as the program scales.

CS / 02

Eliminated 5 hours of weekly manual payroll, delivering ~$5K in annual value.

Services & Retail

A salon and spa with complex, multi-tier compensation structures was spending hours every week on manual payroll, exactly the kind of costly, repetitive work that keeps small teams from focusing on their business. We identified the most time-consuming steps, automated the entire calculation workflow, and built in reporting dashboards that turn payroll data into clear financial insights every pay period.

CS / 03

Cut 10 hours of monthly admin and enabled data-driven client programming.

Small Business

A personal fitness trainer was tracking clients, workout programs, and results in Excel, a system that worked at first but couldn't scale. We eliminated the manual work holding the business back, built a lightweight tool with analytics that turn client data into actionable insights, and laid the groundwork for AI-powered features like auto-generated training plans, starting where AI actually moves the needle.
