Problem statement
Operations teams needed to configure workflows fast without waiting 2-3 weeks for engineering every time.
Manual processes, spreadsheet workarounds, and engineering bottlenecks created compliance gaps and slow delivery across five lines of business.
Governance & Publishing
Draft → Review → Publish. Every change tracked. Every workflow validated before it ships.

Validation prevents broken workflows
Form Builder
Build without code. Drag, configure, publish.
Operations teams compose forms using a drag-and-drop element library. Field settings, validation rules, and business logic are all configured in context without leaving the canvas.
Rules attach directly to form fields via badge indicators, so logic never gets orphaned. A real-time preview lets users test exactly what end users will see before anything goes live.
Harvard Office for Sustainability — Web Redesign
Aurora Studio, a no-code platform that put workflow ownership back in the hands of operations teams.
An 8-step configuration platform enabling 200+ operations users to build forms, define business rules, and integrate with Camunda processes — all while maintaining governance.
