Internal projects & NDAs
Get in touch if you want to discuss internal tooling in more depth. I've worked on a lot of internal projects but they are often behind a contractual NDA. Despite that, I can discuss how I navigated complicated schemas, collaborated with non-product teams, streamlined workflows and increased company effiency.
