The Cost of Outdated Tools
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.
But as users’ work grew more complex, AInstein’s interface didn’t keep up. Still running on AngularJS v1.0, the platform was slow, visually dated, and hard to maintain. Key tools were buried in nested menus, and cluttered graphs made data hard to scan, adding friction to even the simplest workflows.
the goal
Redesign AInstein to be faster, clearer, and more adaptable without losing the technical depth that engineers rely on.
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

Dashboard Customization
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:
High-priority data became default widgets
Less-critical tools could be added as widgets when needed, freeing up valuable screen space
Complex data still had dedicated pages, so the dashboard never felt overloaded
When exploring widget sizing, I tested different options, but ultimately chose two standard sizes, giving users flexibility without
sacrificing clarity or consistency.

Edit Dashboard
Important widgets take up more space for better visibility
More layout variety, more dynamic feel
Large widgets took over the screen
Resizing and rearranging was cumbersome
Risked making the dashboard feel cluttered
Balanced info density without overwhelming users
Simple zig-zag layout added visual rhythm
Less flexibility for users who wanted full control over layout

Development Highlights
Design improvements only mattered if the system could support them. Alongside the UI overhaul, I:
Migrated platform from AngularJS v1.0 to React + Next.js, modernizing the UI and improving maintainability and scalability
Built reusable components (cards, tables, buttons) for consistent, faster feature development
Integrated 30+ REST API endpoints for data parsing. Added client-side filtering, sorting, and pagination to reduce backend load and keep the interface responsive with large datasets
Reflection
With the redesign, engineers 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: 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.
