Rack
& Role.
A hiring platform
for the data center industry.
Good data
doesn't happen
by accident.
Ingestion needed more than a route into a database. Duplicate detection, quarantine and expiry helped keep unsuitable or stale records out of search.
Bring the records together.
Ingestion brings job records into a shared workflow before they become search results.
Explanatory interaction based on the archived product. No live data.
The application agent ran in an isolated browser worker. Protected fields were removed before handoff, with a manual path when automation needed to stop.
The project was archived in August 2026. The work brought together data ingestion, access control and browser automation in one independently built product.
