Introduced an internal dashboards framework to address the challenge of numerous custom internal tool requests. The framework allows non-engineers to build dynamic custom pages in the browser without coding and enables engineers to break down complex tools into reusable, configurable widgets. Defined the concept of a widget as a child object of a main widget class with well-defined parameters and HTML rendering based on configuration. Described the architecture at a high level with a code example for a widget and highlighted the ability for viewer-configurable dashboards.
