# Active Projects — Q2/Q3 2026

## DB Migration Project

The database migration project aims to move Acme Corp's production PostgreSQL clusters from on-premise hardware to AWS Aurora. The project is owned by the infrastructure team and was initiated by Bob Martinez following a reliability incident in January 2026.

Alice Chen and Carol Okafor are the core engineering contributors. The target completion date is end of Q3 2026. The project has a dependency on the Platform team's new secrets management service, which is being built by James Whitfield's team.

Current status: in progress. Risk: medium. Budget: $120,000.

## RAG Pipeline Project

Acme Corp is building an internal RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline to allow employees to query the company's internal documentation using natural language. The project is led by Dr. Yuna Park from the AI Research team.

Alice Chen is contributing backend API work. The project uses a vector database (Pinecone) and integrates with the internal knowledge base. A partnership with DataSystems Inc provides the document indexing infrastructure for this project.

Target delivery: Q4 2026. Current status: design phase.

## Platform Secrets Service

The Platform team is building a centralised secrets management service to replace ad-hoc use of environment variables. James Whitfield is the project owner. The service will use HashiCorp Vault as its backend.

Alice Chen requested this project after identifying credential hygiene issues during a security audit in February 2026. Expected completion: August 2026.
