SLA Dashboard
Prototype for SLA capture, validation, dashboards, breach tracking, and operational reporting.
Engineering Simplicity Lab
Helping engineering organizations become simpler, smarter, and more reliable.
WorkTools.in is an engineering sandbox for automation prototypes, operational dashboards, AI-assisted operations concepts, architecture patterns, and proof-of-concept tools focused on simplifying engineering work.
About This Lab
Krishna Kumar
WorkTools.in is maintained by Krishna Kumar as a practical Engineering Simplicity Lab. The purpose is to explore better ways to build, operate, observe, automate, and continuously improve engineering systems. The focus is not on tools alone, but on the thinking behind them: how to reduce repetitive work, improve reliability, create visibility, and help engineering teams spend more time solving meaningful problems.
