01

The problem

In summer 2026 I was a Junior Project Manager at Icon Media Communications, on the national refresh of the networked media players in 1,100+ McDonald's drive-thrus across Canada. My focus was the data and networking side of the rollout.

With 10+ installs running at once across several provinces, keeping install crews, technicians and timelines in sync meant a lot of manual data entry and formatting every day.

02

What I built

OpsBridge is a browser-based workflow tool, built with React and plain JavaScript, that I made to run the deployments across 1,100+ locations. It replaced the manual data entry and formatting in the daily workflow.

  • A reference lookup for every store, covering cable instructions and lane configurations, that works instantly in the browser.
  • Streamlined communication with field technicians across multiple sites at once.

OpsBridge sits between the rollout plan and the crews on site.

Results / status

Cut daily ops overhead by 95% and supported the rollout across 1,100+ locations through the end of my internship in August 2026.
