The Origin Story: NOLA Automation (2018)

In 2018, I began work on NOLA Automation. In the collections work I encountered, I saw manual, dialer-led workflows and an opportunity to make communication more coordinated.

My 2018 Design Goal

I wanted a more coordinated communications workflow for collections.

My aim was to test whether a coordinated workflow could support more consistent operations.

What I Was Exploring

I was exploring event-driven workflows, automated follow-up sequences, and multi-channel customer paths. That work shaped what I built later.

NOLA was the beginning. Debt Catalyst is the evolution.
