Case study
WA DOL Hours Upload
Chrome extension automating monthly student-hours filings with the Washington State Department of Licensing, for beauty schools.
The pain
Beauty schools in Washington State are required to file monthly student-hour reports with the Department of Licensing. The state's filing portal is a manual, multi-step form, repeated for every student, every month. For a school with 50+ students, this is hours of repetitive data entry with zero tolerance for errors — miss filings and the school's license is at risk.
What I built
- Chrome MV3 extension that autofills the DOL filing form from a structured roster
- Roster upload + preview flow so school operators verify before submission
- Per-student state tracking (submitted / pending / needs review) across a filing cycle
- Robust to the state's minor form-schema drift over time
Why this matters for consulting clients
This is the same architectural pattern as ClaimHawk's extension, applied to a different regulated profession. If you're building form automation for a regulated vertical — legal, healthcare intake, education licensing, tax, insurance — this is the closest prior art. Same Chrome MV3 foundation, same compliance posture, same form-classifier challenges. Let's chat.
