Problem

Stoller Winery needed a single source of truth for wine data, events, and media that the on‑site apps could consume to display on their interactive, LED tasting tables and on their LED "barback" application.

My role

Developed the CMS and data model
Integrated with two front‑end apps (Tasting Table & Barback)
Supported features like 3D map info, newsletter signup, and live content

My Contributions

Kept the admin simple so staff could update without training
Unified data so both apps pulled from the same source
Gave insights from previous career as a brewery manager to help in making product decisions

How it ended

Reliable tools for the tasting room that showed up in press coverage and guest photos.

Notes

Having worked in craft beer for eight years, this was a great project for me to be able to work on. This was also my first project ever working in experiential, and it was so much fun to be able to work on. Absolutely adore this project. Fun fact: this winery owns the Spruce Goose from The Aviator movie!

Have a venue app with messy data? I can help tidy the source of truth.
