Overview

What I built & why

A real-time API and dashboard on top of any SQL database. Sits non-destructively over existing schemas.

Used as both a headless CMS and a general-purpose data platform with workflows and webhooks.

Highlights

Key deliverables

  • Works with existing DBs
  • Real-time WebSocket API
  • Visual workflow editor
  • Flows + automation
  • Granular RBAC

Process

Challenge & solution

The challenge

A patchwork of spreadsheets and three different inboxes meant nobody knew the real status of a job until the customer complained.

The solution

Replaced the manual exports with scheduled jobs and a clean reporting layer that updates the dashboard hourly.
