Before we got here,
here's what wasn't working.
A portfolio of SharePoint Online implementations covering modern intranet portals, document management systems, team sites, and custom SPFx web parts. Projects span from greenfield builds to migrations from on-premises SharePoint 2013/2016.
We confirmed every challenge with the team before writing a line of production code. The right column lists the pain points we tackled head-on and how we approached each one.
What wasn't working
BEFOREMigrating legacy document libraries with broken folder hierarchies
Used ShareGate migration tool with a pre-migration content audit and automated folder-to-metadata conversion.
Don't over-engineer.
Solve what matters, ship fast.
The instinct on complex projects is to rebuild everything from scratch. We pushed back. A full rewrite often means months of regressions while engineering rebuilds features that were already working.
We mapped the existing workflow against actual usage. The result was clear: a small set of features accounted for the majority of user time. We rebuilt the core, shipped fast, and extended outward.
On the technical side, we made clear decisions early and held them. The right column shows what we chose, and why.

What changed,
measured against the day-one baseline.
We benchmark before we touch anything, logging every metric below against its state before we wrote a line of production code.
