Flash end-of-life, zero retraining, and an unchanged teller interface
Built a lightweight local HTTP server that served the webcam feed in a way the existing interface could consume without modification, replacing Flash's role without changing what tellers saw or how they worked.

01 · Context
What was getting in the way
A teller-facing application depended on an Adobe Flash component to display a webcam feed. With Flash being sunset industry-wide, the component was on a hard deprecation clock, and any visible change to the interface risked disrupting daily branch operations.

What changed and why
