A tool that tracks lab documentation status for a team at work, built to replace a manual, easy-to-lose-track-of process.
Web AppInternal ToolGiatec Scientific
Problem
A growing list of lab products needed their documentation tracked, but the process lived in a manual spreadsheet with no shared visibility and no system built to outlast any one person.
Build
A dashboard built for the actual job: clear status tracking per item, drag-to-reorder to match how the physical records are organized, and a built-in guide so the team could use it without needing me around. Later adapted into a version anyone could set up and run independently.
Outcome
Live and in daily use, built from the start to keep working after my co-op ends.
