I designed and coded MDS 2.0's shared workspace, where non-developers generate and review repository-backed prototypes aligned to production components. - [RAMP / Remote Asset Management Platform](https://hughberryman.com/work/ramp): Making a five-system alert chain operable. 2024–26. RAMP brings telemetry, alarm logic, SAP APM, and Grafana context into one operating surface for validating alerts, documenting findings, and creating maintenance notifications. Metric: 5 technical layers translated into one alert-handling workflow. - [MIRA 2.0](https://hughberryman.com/work/mira): Making a model's recommendation arguable. 2024–25. MIRA recommends operating changes in a molybdenum leach circuit. After on-site research, I designed a review flow that shows operators the forecast, current setting, and consequence of accepting, adjusting, or rejecting each recommendation. Metric: ~20% lower recommended fresh-ferric addition than the legacy bleed calculator; Monitored seven-day comparison, internal tracking. - [Company-wide ServiceNow platform](https://hughberryman.com/work/servicenow): Making employee support easier to navigate. 2025. I researched and redesigned how employees find help, submit requests, and track progress in ServiceNow. The company-wide redesign served a workforce of approximately 28,000 and paired new navigation with a visual system built for the platform's constraints. ## Earlier work Selected evidence connected to the employment record.

Every expression remaps the same semantic surface, text, rule, accent, and focus roles; selections persist across pages and restore before first paint. The [localization test](https://hughberryman.com/pseudo/lab) derives accented, bracketed, expanded interface strings from the English dictionary and can mirror the same viewer between LTR and RTL. That generated route is noindex and excluded from hreflang and the sitemap. ## Full text - [llms-full.txt](https://hughberryman.com/llms-full.txt): every case study in full, including all decisions with their tradeoffs and outcomes, plus the complete employment record. - [sitemap.xml](https://hughberryman.com/sitemap.xml): canonical English pages only; the noindex pseudo lab is intentionally omitted.
