01 · Challenge

Challenge

Forefront's career-development framework was managed through paper forms, PDFs and personal documents, limiting engagement outside annual reviews. The firm needed to test a digital alternative and understand what production-grade delivery would require.

02 · My contribution

My contribution

I built a React and Supabase prototype for core review and development workflows, then translated the concept into a complete PRD, a four-epic development roadmap and a proposed Next.js production architecture.

Outcome

Forefront received a working prototype and a decision-ready path to production, including defined product scope, phased delivery, technical architecture and the operational requirements for further investment.
