Project client dashboard

Started in as a part of my work as Ruby developer, UI designer and tech lead for Speed & Function

Business role

Sometimes project owners from the side of the client were running several projects with us and maybe some more within their company, and it was hard for them to quickly recall what was happening at a certain project, what were the current pain points, tasks etc.

I came up with an initiative to build a web page that would give them an overview of a project from the main perspectives: milestones, current tasks, risks, next features, team, spent hours, project infra etc.

What it was about

This tool was implemented for my current company.

The system was a classic Rails web app communicating with our primary issue tracker, Redmine

Challenges

  • I had to learn d3 to plot spent hours
  • I had to sell the project vision internally

My responsibilities

I conceived of this project and implemented it single-handedly.

  • Advice & guidance on better UX in the web interfaces
  • Building charts in d3
  • Correcting web typography
  • Creating & deploying Ruby on Rails web apps from scratch
  • Deploying websites to Fly.io
  • Fine-tuning web typography
  • Front-end develpment (HTML / CSS /JS)
  • Integrating data from API providers
  • Setting up asset build pipeline via Webpack, ESbuild, Parcel etc.
  • Writing unit tests with RSpec

Interesting things I did on this project

Rewriting clumsy legacy HTML into correct, consise, semantic HTML that looks beautiful even with no CSS
