The command terminal for the space economy
InsightOrca turns the fragmented space economy into a single intelligence platform. As lead frontend engineer, our founder built the entire interface — dashboards, sector newsfeed, and deal tracking over 200,000+ records.

The challenge
InsightOrca is a market-intelligence platform for the space sector — "The Command Terminal for Space." It tracks thousands of space companies, the capital moving between them, and how the sector shifts week to week, so defense and commercial teams can make allocation decisions without weeks of manual research.
That intelligence is only as useful as the interface on top of it. The frontend problem was density: dashboards, a live newsfeed, capability breakdowns, and deal tracking that all stay fast and legible on top of 200,000+ constantly-updating records.
What we built
The entire frontend, owned
Built the full interface layer in React and TypeScript — every dashboard, view, and interaction in the product, from first component to shipped feature.
Customizable intelligence dashboards
Configurable dashboards and a daily-updated newsfeed that let each user follow the companies, capabilities, and deals that matter to them.
Capability and M&A analysis
Interfaces for company-capability analysis and M&A market tracking across 80+ mapped capabilities and 3,000+ analyzed deals.
Legible at scale
Data-dense views engineered to stay fast and readable over 200,000+ records — the difference between a dataset and a decision tool.

- Built the entire frontend for a platform tracking 8,000+ space companies and 200K+ records
