My Contributions
As one of seven developers, I contributed across multiple milestones using an Issue Driven Project Management workflow. The project was built iteratively — from initial mockups through to full back-end functionality, including database interactions and forecast calculations.
Takeaways
This project gave me hands-on experience building financial tooling in a collaborative team environment — balancing a polished UI with meaningful back-end logic like database-driven calculations and multi-role access control. Coordinating across seven developers strengthened my ability to manage scope and communicate across parallel workstreams.
