Designing a platform from the ground up

nMachine is a platform that makes complex tech operations simpler. Created by founder Xavier Millot, it helps engineers build and manage their cloud infrastructure without needing to write much code. The platform provides easy-to-use tools for tracking and managing tech systems, which helps teams work better together while saving time and money.

The team needed a roadmap on how the tool would work and what we need to build -and more importantly- the things we WON’T build.

My Objectives:

Build a system for a web-only dashboards that can bring infrastructure into one place so a team collaborate, monitor and program applications.

  1. Fast-track design development and reduce ambiguity.
  2. Survey all sections of the platform to determine what we will build an how.
