White Label Intranet Project for a Client's High-profile Customers
The project involved creating multiple Angular-based intranet sites for our client's customers. This intranet was white-labeled to personalize each of their customer's projects. We could brand each intranet in a simple form and provide brand colors.
The company's purpose was to provide its clients with workplace training, and its mission was to make each site personalized while still maintaining the structure they wanted.

Internal Site for a Private Banking and Investment Management Company
An intranet built with IBM CoreMedia. Throughout the project, I ran on-site training sessions with business executives and employees to train them on the usability of their CoreMedia instance. I used BEM to style each component and give the client the flexibility to change a component as much as possible. I also documented each step and wrote a 90-page content author guide to help the content team understand each use case with step-by-step instructions for content creation.
