Detailed project case study
Mana Secure In-House Application Portal
A secure portal designed to replace restrictive third-party tooling and consolidate operational tasks into one platform.
Built a secure internal application portal that reduced vendor dependency, improved access to workflows and created a foundation for future automation.
Context
Expensive third-party tools were costly to change and did not always fit operational workflows. Vendor restrictions slowed improvement and made each change more expensive.
My mandate
Built a secure internal application portal that reduced vendor dependency, improved access to workflows and created a foundation for future automation.
Scope

Evidence
Public details are limited to the operational record and outcomes that can be discussed safely. Supporting evidence is available in interview where appropriate.
What this demonstrates
The work demonstrates product ownership as well as technology leadership: identifying where another purchase would preserve the constraint and building capability instead.
