The problem
Move essential workflows beyond the front desk.
Guest services such as class and appointment scheduling were being handled manually at the front desk.
The product challenge was to reduce manual administrative work while giving guests easier access to scheduling and important information.
The solution
One application for core guest-facing workflows.
The team developed the broader application collaboratively.
Appointment scheduling
Appointment scheduling through an API-based system.
Announcements
A staff-to-guest communication channel for more than 200 guests.
Authentication
Login controls for access to the application.
Role-based access
Different permissions for administrators and guests.
Announcements system
A controlled channel from staff to 200+ guests.
Administrators could publish announcements, while authenticated guests could view them after logging in. Guests could not publish or modify announcements.

My contribution
Technical implementation and stakeholder coordination.
My work centered on the announcements feature, access control, and keeping development connected to stakeholder needs.
Announcements system
Built the announcements system for more than 200 guests.
One-way communication
Designed the feature so administrators could publish and authenticated guests could view announcements.
Role-based access
Implemented access controls so only administrators could create announcements.
Authentication
Worked with the login and authentication system to enforce user permissions.
Stakeholder liaison
Connected the development team with Samaritan Inn stakeholders.
Iterative delivery
Presented product iterations, gathered feedback, clarified requirements, and helped keep development aligned with stakeholder needs.
Stakeholder collaboration
An iterative bridge between stakeholder needs and team delivery.
I presented product iterations, gathered feedback, clarified requirements, and shared updated direction with the team to help keep development aligned.
