Most career software models employment.
I became interested in modeling something different:
experience itself.
I built Elevatr after dealing with the complexity of documenting professional experience for licensure.
A résumé might say:
Company
Role
2024–2026
But a licensing process may care about what actually happened during those years.
Projects.
Hours.
Responsibilities.
Experience categories.
Supervision.
Verification.
That requires a different data model.
Modeling Experience
Conceptually, Elevatr looks more like:
Professional
↓
Employer
↓
Project
↓
Experience Entry
↓
Category + Hours + Responsibility
↓
Evidence
↓
Verification
Now experience becomes queryable.
How many hours were accumulated in a category?
Which projects demonstrate a particular competency?
Which entries have been verified?
Who supervised them?
Which requirements remain incomplete?
Multiple Platforms
I’ve been building Elevatr across:
- Desktop
- Web
- Mobile
The interfaces serve different purposes.
Mobile → capture
Desktop → dedicated workspace
Web → manage/access
They ultimately revolve around the same professional record.
I’ve also worked on verification workflows, including DocuSign integration.
That’s important because there’s a major difference between:
"I recorded this experience."
and:
"This experience was verified."
Why This Gets Interesting With AI
Once professional experience has structure, AI can potentially help convert natural descriptions into categorized records.
For example:
Prepared an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey draft, incorporated legal and surveyor comments, updated Exhibit A and Schedule B, and revised plan notes.
That can potentially be transformed into structured experience rather than disappearing inside a timesheet.
The model becomes:
Natural-language work description
↓
Extraction
↓
Project + Tasks + Categories
↓
Experience Record
↓
Verification
That’s the technical direction I find most interesting.
Elevatr isn’t intended to be another employee timesheet.
A timesheet belongs primarily to the employer.
Your professional experience belongs to your career.
