Overview
What this challenge is about.
Map the 5 operator workflows by shadowing 2 operators for 4 hours (recordings provided). Design REST endpoints (Open API spec) covering each workflow with role-based scopes (operator, lead-operator, admin). Build the Vue.js admin dashboard consuming the API: 5 main pages + 1 settings page. Implement JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens. Deploy API to Railway, dashboard to Netlify. Deliver both GitHub repos, both staging URLs, the Open API spec, and a 4-page handoff brief covering RBAC matrix + deployment notes.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Replace 6 Google Sheets + direct SQL queries with a REST API + Vue.js admin dashboard covering 5 operator workflows under RBAC.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate operator workflows into REST endpoint + scope design
- Apply role-based access control consistently across API + UI
- Build a modern admin dashboard with a JavaScript framework (Vue.js)
- Document an API with Open API for downstream integration
