anonymized case study
A privacy-safe case study on a Vue.js web platform for a multi-season media product, with internal tooling for the production team.

privacy boundary
The brand, talent, partners, and partner-specific integrations are withheld. The architecture pattern, internal tooling impact, and rounded user counts are shown instead.
the change
Before
A successful mobile product had no web equivalent, and the production team ran live events out of spreadsheets and email threads with partners.
A successful mobile experience had no equivalent web product, so a large share of the audience could not participate.
The production team handled key event workflows manually across spreadsheets, files, and partner communication.
Releases to AWS depended on hand-run steps that limited how often the team shipped changes.
What we built
A Vue.js web product matched to the mobile experience opened up tens of thousands of new users, while internal tooling moved the production team out of the spreadsheet path.
Built a scalable Vue.js web application integrated with backend APIs and third-party partners, serving more than 10,000 users in the steady-state product.
Architected and shipped the web frontend for three live event seasons, serving more than 20,000 users with UI components consistent with the existing mobile experience.
Built internal support tooling that took the production team out of the spreadsheet path on key event workflows, and automated AWS deploys end to end.

Internal tools
Build internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, portals, and approval queues around the way your team works.
Workflow automation
Turn repeated handoffs, approvals, reports, and admin work into workflow automation your team can trust.
System integration
Connect CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, files, databases, APIs, and spreadsheets without forcing a platform migration.
book a workflow audit
A short call is the fastest way to figure out whether you need AI automation, custom software, integrations, or simply a clearer process.
workflow audit call
Bring one repeated process: a report, quote, approval, inbox, or handoff that keeps wasting time. We decide together whether it needs AI, software, integration, or just a cleaner process. No pitch.
We talk through one messy workflow
You describe where work starts, who touches it, what tools are involved, and where things slow down.
We decide if automation is even the right answer
Some problems need AI. Some need better process, clearer ownership, or a small internal tool. We separate them.
You leave with a practical next step
If there is a real opportunity, we outline the smallest useful build. If not, you avoid automating the wrong thing.
