Work
Systems built inside SJ3 Labs.
These projects were developed internally at SJ3 Labs to solve real operational needs. They are not client engagements. Client case studies will be published only with client permission.
Business Builder
Context
Business Builder is a digital business launch and documentation platform developed inside SJ3 Labs to support the process of taking a loosely defined business idea and converting it into structured plans, starter materials, and operational workflows.
Problem
When starting a new business or initiative, the information needed to make decisions is scattered across browser tabs, notes, conversations, and templates. There was no unified system for moving from idea to structured execution.
Approach
An application that guides users through structured intake, generates foundational documentation, and provides a dashboard for managing the launch process. The system captures decisions, produces deliverables, and maintains a record of what was defined.
Capabilities
- Structured intake and requirements gathering
- Document generation and export
- Launch process tracking
- Deliverable management
Type
Internal platform
Technology
React, TypeScript, Next.js, PostgreSQL
Status
Active internal platform. Used to support new business launch workflows within SJ3 Labs.
Command Center
Context
Command Center is an operational dashboard developed within SJ3 Labs to manage approvals, monitor system health, control automated workflows, track activity, and provide a single interface for managing distributed operations.
Problem
As automated workflows and distributed systems increased, there was no single place to monitor health, approve actions, review activity logs, or manage operational state. Each function lived in a separate interface.
Approach
A unified dashboard that aggregates system status, provides approval workflows, logs activity, and offers controlled actions for managing automated processes from one location.
Capabilities
- System health monitoring
- Approval workflow management
- Activity tracking and logging
- Controlled action execution
Type
Operational tool
Technology
React, TypeScript, Next.js, API integration
Status
Active operational dashboard used within SJ3 Labs for managing internal workflows and automated processes.
ContractorOps
Context
ContractorOps is a local-first self-employment management system developed inside SJ3 Labs for tracking income, expenses, receipts, tax reserves, exports, and the operational details of independent contracting.
Problem
Self-employment generates financial and operational records that are easy to neglect until tax time. Spreadsheets work but lack structure, and most accounting tools are built for businesses rather than individual contractors.
Approach
A local-first application that tracks income and expenses, stores receipts, calculates tax reserves, and generates export-ready records. Data stays on the user's machine with no cloud dependency for core functions.
Capabilities
- Income and expense tracking
- Receipt storage and management
- Tax reserve calculation
- Data export for accounting purposes
Type
Operational tool
Technology
TypeScript, local-first architecture, React
Status
Active internal tool. Used for personal contractor management within SJ3 Labs.
MarketOps
Context
MarketOps is an experimental paper-trading research and monitoring platform developed inside SJ3 Labs. It provides scheduled analysis, defined risk rules, and a public-facing performance dashboard.
Problem
Financial research and paper trading typically require multiple tools and manual coordination. There was no integrated experimental platform for testing defined strategies with scheduled analysis and transparent results.
Approach
A research platform that coordinates scheduled data collection, applies defined risk rules, simulates paper trades, and publishes results through a performance dashboard. The system is designed for experimentation and learning rather than live trading.
Capabilities
- Scheduled data collection and analysis
- Paper trading simulation
- Risk rule application
- Performance dashboard
Type
Experimental system
Technology
TypeScript, Node.js, data pipeline, dashboard
Status
Experimental research system. Developed for internal learning and exploration within SJ3 Labs.
