the problem

When complexity outgrows the interface

Orchestra Technology is a tech startup focused on mobile performance assurance and enterprise mobility. Their core platform, AInstein, gives telecom professionals the tools to simulate user behavior, monitor KPIs, and make sense of massive datasets.

However, its AngularJS-based interface couldn’t keep up. Engineers struggled with slow performance, buried tools, and dense visualizations, adding friction to even routine tasks.

design goal

Make telecom data faster to navigate, easier to scan, and more adaptable without sacrificing technical depth.

1


Reduce unnecessary steps and navigation hurdles on the website

3


Migrate the legacy AngularJS framework to React for better performance and scalability

2


Modernize the visual design and make the data exploration seamless

Reframing the dashboard as a workspace

One of the biggest issues was how much the interface relied on tabs. Some tabs were task-critical and used daily, while others were niche and rarely touched. Engineers spent too much time jumping between them just to cross-reference information.


I reimagined the dashboard as a customizable workspace:


  1. High-priority data became default widgets

  2. Less-critical tools could be added as widgets when needed, freeing up valuable screen space

  3. Complex data still had dedicated pages, so the dashboard never felt overloaded

Reflection

Development-wise, I:

  • Migrated AngularJS → React + Next.js

  • Built reusable components for cards, tables, and filters

  • Integrated 30+ REST endpoints with client-side performance optimizations


With the redesign, engineers mentioned that they could handle most of their key monitoring tasks right from the dashboard, reducing context-switching and making insights available at a glance.


Working on AInstein taught me that designing for specialists isn't about simplification but about clarity. In the telecom world, what looks like clutter to an outsider might be essential context for an engineer. My job wasn’t to strip that away but to make it easier to interpret and act on.


Even though AInstein is an internal tool, this project reinforced a core belief for me: technical users deserve the same level of thoughtful design as any customer-facing product. When you respect their expertise in your solutions, you don’t just make their work easier, but you help them do it better :)
