My contributions

I designed this app from scratch which included doing user research and talking to the target audience, conducting competitive analysis, defining user flows, suggesting additional features based on users’ needs, creating wireframes and final UI, building a prototype and conducting usability testing, and improving the app based on the test results.

The Challenge

Finance teams were struggling with fragmented tools and overwhelming data. The challenge was to create a unified interface that could handle complex financial operations while remaining accessible to non-technical users.

The Solution

Implemented a modular dashboard system with customizable widgets, progressive disclosure of complex features, and intelligent data visualization. Conducted extensive user testing with CFOs and financial analysts to refine the information architecture.

Financial Visibility

Every dollar tracked against contract in real time. Over-budget projects surface before they spiral, not after month-end close.

Faster decisions

Change requests move from submission to approval in 1.2 days on average. Reviewers have full context — cost, schedule, justification — in one screen.

Team clarity

PMs, site supervisors, and subcontractors see the same data. Assignments, milestones, and scopes are written down — not held in someone's inbox.

Risk reduction

Budget overrun alerts, CR audit trails, and subcontractor payment tracking significantly reduce financial and contractual risk exposure per project.

Admin hours back

Replacing manual spreadsheet compilation and email chains saves each PM an estimated 8.5 hours per week — nearly a full working day reclaimed.

Audit-ready records

Every CR, team assignment, and budget change is timestamped and tied to a project. Finance directors can pull a full audit trail in seconds, not days.

Planning the App Structure

After we identified the key areas to focus on, I moved on to devising the app structure and what the user flows would look like for different user roles. These roles needed to have different levels of access to the tools and information regarding the projects, requiring careful planning upfront. Aligning on these flows early with the team through flow charts helped us move faster and avoid having to rework parts of the app later on, which could be both costly and time consuming.
