    • Building a multi-tenant SaaS platform for industrial safety operations — Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Digital Work Permits (DWP), isolation plans, and related field workflows.
    • Working full-stack across the product: TypeScript end-to-end, React / Next.js on the front end, Node services and PostgreSQL (via Prisma) on the back end.
    • Designing the customizable workflow engine that lets each tenant configure approval chains, form schemas, and routing rules without code changes — supporting widely different operational policies across customer sites.
    • Designing tenant-aware data models and API contracts that keep customer data isolated while sharing the underlying platform.
    • Partnering with product, design, and other engineers to shape requirements and resolve technical tradeoffs in a regulated, safety-critical domain.
