Tech health dashboard
I transformed Spotify’s "Soundcheck" from a manual grid of dots into a leadership-facing analytics platform. By advocating for a complete dashboard overhaul, I moved the tool beyond its technical plateau to achieve parity with professional health-tracking products. I centralized fragmented data into a unified, no-code dashboard with global filtering, establishing a single source of truth that allowed tech leadership to monitor and scale code quality across the entire organization.

Before and after
Prior to this project, the product’s UI lacked the visual maturity to compete with enterprise standards like OpsLevel or Atlassian Compass, putting high-value accounts at risk of churn. I transformed this underdeveloped interface into a scalable experience by establishing a robust dashboard logic and a modern interaction model. This structural overhaul moved the product from a competitive disadvantage to an enterprise-ready tool, successfully stabilizing the customer relationship and elevating the squad’s design craft.
Before
MVP Solution
To achieve market parity at speed, we transformed Soundcheck from a static grid into a functional analytics dashboard. By leveraging an existing open-source design system, we bypassed the need for a custom UI library, allowing Engineering to ship and collect data immediately.
The Impact:
Scalable Infrastructure: Turned a manual auditing tool into a self-service health platform, enabling automated "no-code" checks for enterprise customers.
Design Integration: Matured the engineering squad into a high-functioning agile unit by successfully integrating design workshops and user research into the core development sprint.
Operational Success: This foundation directly supported the commercial launch of Spotify Backstage by proving that internal tools could be "productized" for a global market.
Outcome
“100% this is what we need” -Soundcheck enterprise customer
“The design is clean and modern. This solution can replace the multiple dashboards we have today in Grafana and elsewhere” -User research participant
