Community Dreams Foundation
- Rebuilt a compliance-critical platform from scratch after finding the existing codebase was entirely hardcoded UI with no functional backend; designed a PostgreSQL schema with enforced state transitions and row-level security
- Implemented RBAC with AES-256 encrypted storage and immutable audit trails, enforcing access boundaries at the database level
- Established a 26-test automated suite validating data integrity and concurrent state transitions, integrated into a CI/CD pipeline via Docker and GitHub Actions, all passing before feature work began
- Built structured logging and observability dashboards before the first user onboarded, enabling proactive detection of data integrity issues via state machine trace analysis; onboarded 20+ beta users across three distinct roles
