PPL

A paper process turned into software.

PPL is a modern portfolio recreation of an HR onboarding system I originally built for a company managing high-volume hiring. The original process depended heavily on paper applications, physical employee files, manual follow-up, and staff moving information between disconnected steps.

The goal was straightforward: make the hiring process digital from the moment a candidate enters the system and give HR a single place to manage the information that follows.

One workflow from applicant to employee.

• Create and manage candidates through a structured hiring workflow.
• Move applicants through interview, testing, hiring, and onboarding stages.
• Centralize employee and applicant records for HR staff.
• Update records without maintaining parallel paper files.
• Support automated interview and testing reminders.
• Separate the HR management experience from the simpler candidate-facing workflow.

A modern recreation of the original system.

The portfolio version is being rebuilt as a modern full-stack application while preserving the business problem and workflow that made the original useful.

Software tied directly to operations.

This project represents the kind of work I enjoy most: understanding a manual business process, designing a practical system around the people who use it, deploying it, and continuing to support the workflow after launch.
