Case Study
Application Command Centre: Premium Job CRM
Job seekers often lose opportunities because tracking is split across notes, spreadsheets, and inboxes. I built Application Command Centre to solve that with one structured system for pipeline control, follow-up discipline, and interview readiness. I owned product design, full stack implementation, and data security boundaries.
Landing experience with a clear value proposition for interview readiness and organised pipeline execution.
Problem and direction
Job searching often breaks across notes, spreadsheets, documents, and reminders. That fragmentation leads to missed follow-ups, weaker interview prep, and poor visibility across the overall pipeline.
This project was designed as a premium command centre: one workspace to track applications, manage related companies and contacts, store documents, and monitor performance trends.
The emphasis was reliable workflow design with strong data boundaries, not just pretty dashboards.
Challenge and solution
One challenge was keeping filtering and bulk updates flexible without weakening data safety. I solved it with validated server actions, strict query boundaries, and indexed fields, which kept the workflow fast while preserving predictable writes.
Core features delivered

Analytics and templates
Funnel visibility, weekly activity trends, and reusable templates to improve consistency in outreach and follow-up.
Engineering focus
- Schema-first design with migration files, constraints, indexes, and trigger-based activity logs.
- Row-level security policies to enforce data isolation per authenticated user.
- Server actions and validators to keep writes safe and predictable.
- Responsive dashboard layout for mobile, tablet, and desktop usage.
What this project shows
- Ability to design and ship a commercially credible workflow from concept to production.
- Full stack ownership across UX, schema design, validation, and auth boundaries.
