Portfolio demonstration only: fictional company and sample data. The live production system remains private.
Real System. Discreet Presentation.

Built from scratch. Running real operations.

A custom operations platform for a federal supply business, designed from screenshots of a manual workflow and developed into a database-driven production system in under 90 days.

Confidential by design. The platform is real and used every day. This public portfolio uses a fictional company, fictional records, and recreated screens so the live operation stays private.

From Manual Workflow to Platform

One operating system for the work behind the work.

The build began with screenshots of spreadsheets and notes already used by the business, then turned those habits into a structured web application.

The Project

A production platform, not a practice project.

The real application manages opportunity research, bid tracking, supplier sourcing, batch RFQs, contract awards, purchase orders, shipments, exports, events, and leadership reporting in one database-driven workflow.

It was designed, specified, directed, reviewed, tested, and deployed through AI-assisted development, with Claude used as the coding partner. The public presentation intentionally reveals the scale and engineering discipline without exposing the real operation.

"This is a real, working operations platform I designed and built from scratch. It runs a federal supply business every day. Because of the nature of that work, the live system stays private. What you see here is a faithful demo recreation using a fictional company and sample data."
What the Platform Does

Daily operations, connected end to end.

The mock demonstrates the functional scope of the private production platform without using real customers, suppliers, identifiers, pricing, or live records.

01

Bid & Opportunity Tracking

Move opportunities from research to quoting, submission, award, or closeout with due dates and status visibility.

02

Parts Research

Organize part and stock-number research tied to imported federal parts-catalog data for sourcing analysis.

03

Supplier Intelligence

Maintain manufacturer directories, capability tags, sourcing notes, and historical quote activity.

04

Batch RFQ Builder

Select multiple parts and multiple suppliers, then organize one structured request-for-quote workflow.

05

Awards, Orders & Delivery

Track awards, purchase-order milestones, shipments, and delivery status from handoff through completion.

06

Leadership Reporting

Surface weekly operating summaries, pipeline views, events, and spreadsheet exports for decision support.

Public Demo Screens

Six screens that show the system without showing the system.

Every interface below is a fictional recreation. Names, dates, values, company records, part numbers, and opportunity codes are invented for presentation.

How It Was Built

AI-assisted development with engineering discipline.

The system was not generated in one pass. It was continuously designed, documented, tested, migrated, backed up, reviewed, and improved.

1

Capture

Start from screenshots of the existing spreadsheet-and-notes workflow.

2

Model

Translate real business activity into structured pages, data relationships, and rules.

3

Build

Develop the application with Claude as the AI coding partner under human direction.

4

Verify

Use migrations, automated tests, staging, error-log triage, backups, and rollback copies.

5

Improve

Keep shipping. More than 20,000 lines were added after the first major build phase.

Technology Stack

Practical tools, custom code, no bundled third-party libraries.

The public portfolio stays at a general technology level and intentionally avoids infrastructure, hosting, database naming, URLs, credentials, or implementation details that identify the live system.

Server-sidePHP application logic and reusable shared modules.
DatabaseMySQL-compatible relational model managed through SQL migrations.
Front EndHTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the working interface.
AutomationPython plus Windows batch and shell scripts for data and operations tooling.
AccessGoogle sign-in with role-based access.
AI PartnerClaude by Anthropic, used for design, coding, testing, and review under Clinton Douglas IV’s direction.
Government DataImports and processes federal parts-catalog data to support sourcing research.
TestingCustom automated test suites in PHP, Python, and JavaScript.
