MarkEverything

Overview

MarkEverthing is an enterprise connectivity and productivity platform I built end to end. It is a Supply Chain Connectivity or “Middle-Man” tool as well as an enterprise productivity platform. These two components evolved from pain points I saw and felt through my role as a FDE and each address operation gaps.

• Daily note summarization — I often go through the ‘meeting gauntlet’ across many different efforts. This daily note system is what works for me as an effective way of keeping track and staying on top.
• Action-plan tracking — keep shared action items from falling through the cracks in an coordinated and aligned way.
• Cross-company coordination — a “middle-man” layer that lets separate organizations communicate and stay in sync.
• Cross-company Data Sharing - a secure way for companies to share datasets, invoices, drawings, etc.

It runs on a React/TypeScript frontend with an AWS-backed (Cognito auth) backend deployed on Amplify. A cross-company data-sharing capability is in progress.

Motivation

Every feature traces back to a real friction point I watched teams struggle with: scattered notes with no durable summary, action items that quietly die, and two organizations that need to share status but have no clean channel to do it. I tried building it for a client with their support, but the needs of the business didn’t align with such a development effort. Instead of letting this stop me, I built it myself.

Challenges

• Developing a tool with proper authentication comes with great learnings, but exploring and building out the cross-company logic without test users has been challenging.
• Auth, tenant boundaries, and deployment on AWS to meet cyber-security standards.

What I learned

• Building and shipping a real React/TypeScript app while owning the architecture and tradeoffs end to end.
• AWS tools that allow for cyber-security standards to be met.
• Efficient ways of deploying on AWS.

Status & next steps

In active development. The next major piece is the company-to-company data-sharing platform, which extends the cross-company coordination layer.
