Summary of work

This work aims to enhance data discovery for DSF users by enabling them to easily find necessary data (e.g., by role) and create custom annotations for roles, slices, resource registrations, and configurations. Additionally, it seeks to improve the DSF role search functionality by allowing users to search based on associated security attributes and data filters, and to provide a more user-friendly search experience utilizing filters supported by role histogram data. A smaller objective is to identify highly desired features for improved data access and request workflows.


Due to my work being on internal tools, I cannot post examples on my site. Please request access to this doc, which includes three case studies from my work at Google.
