Overview

Working directly with the managing partners, I translated the requirements for confidential report sharing into the interface, API, database, and permission model.

I secured the data down to each individual record in the database, alongside role-based permissions, so every user could reach only the information meant for them. Email-based authentication and short-lived access tokens addressed the requirement for access to depend on control of an approved email account. I handled the complete design and software build.

In their words
