Constraints
What the system had to respect.
- Originals must never be silently overwritten or replaced.
- Duplicate and restoration decisions require human review.
- Private family information and original storage details cannot leak into public proof.
02 / PRESERVATION PLATFORM
Family Archive
A serious family archive has to preserve original media, source context and decisions over time while still making approved content easy to browse and contribute to.
Approach
How the problem was shaped into software.
- Separate preservation facts from editable descriptive metadata.
- Use immutable hashes, lineage and derivative records around accepted media.
- Apply role-aware browsing, contribution, review and administration boundaries.
- Use synthetic or sanitized public evidence while keeping the real archive private.
Proof
What can actually be inspected.
- Controlled intake and duplicate-review workflows.
- Derivative-only archive browsing.
- Role-aware access and metadata history.
- Production-scale family media handling and validation.
Limitations / boundaries
What is deliberately not overstated.
- Public portfolio material intentionally omits real private family data.
- Public screenshots must remain synthetic, sanitized or otherwise explicitly safe.
