I was developing a web-based project management tool for company's clients and project managers. While designing this tool, I collaborated with project managers to ensure the tool met the needs of the architecture bureau's clients and streamlined project workflows. This tool allows creation of accounts for four user roles. Each user has access to their own projects. Users can exchange info, statuses and documents on their projects. I integrated usage of external module for uploading, storing, and downloading project files through REST API. I also designed and integrated a document approval process feature, allowing clients to approve or request changes to project files.
