APEX

Overview

APEX is an internal enterprise platform for planning, assigning, and tracking work across teams — from epics down to individual tasks — with role-scoped visibility so that contributors, leads, and administrators each see exactly what's relevant to them.

Problem

Teams needed a single system to plan epics, break them into tasks, track daily progress, and audit who changed what — without giving every user the same level of access to sensitive project and personnel data.

Solution

Designed and built a role-based access control (RBAC) layer that scopes navigation, data, and actions by role, paired with a Kanban-based workflow for day-to-day task movement and a dashboard that surfaces the metrics each role actually cares about.

My Responsibilities

• Led frontend architecture: route structure, data-fetching patterns, and shared component design.
• Implemented RBAC-aware UI — conditionally rendered navigation, actions, and views based on role and permission scope.
• Built the Kanban board with drag-and-drop task transitions, activity logging, and optimistic UI updates.
• Designed the analytics dashboard, translating raw activity data into role-relevant summaries.
• Worked with backend engineers to define API contracts for epics, tasks, roles, and audit logs.

Architecture

Next.js App Router frontend with server components for data-heavy views and client components for interactive boards; role and permission checks enforced at both the API boundary and the UI layer; Spring Boot services on the backend for auth, RBAC, and core task/epic domain logic.
