01. The Platform
The Source of Truth for City Parking
The platform is the central parking management system behind a city's parking operations: payments, permits, enforcement, and customer records, syncing data across street-side pay machines, the city's parking app, and enforcement vehicles. I owned both day-to-day operations and the modernization roadmap for a $45M+ product suite.
02. The Fix
Onboarding That Lived in a Spreadsheet
New client onboarding ran on spreadsheets, and every deployment was a manual project of about two months. Rebuilding it into a productized, multi-tenant setup cut client setup to about two weeks, 75% faster, and saved over 350 hours per client.
That work turned a single-city system into something other operators could genuinely adopt, and we implemented the platform for two other municipalities.

The Contact Center Integration
We worked directly with the parking division's contact centers to implement a triaging tool and integrate read-only APIs, so agents saw payment and ticket details on one dashboard instead of switching between systems.
It is the same pattern I later reused at enterprise scale: put the platform's data inside the support team's workflow instead of asking them to visit yours.

Key Insights & Takeaways
- Client onboarding is a product. Ours lived in a spreadsheet until we rebuilt it, and the rebuild was worth 350 hours per client.
- Government buyers demand audit-grade data integrity and documentation from day one.
