01 Problem
The guild was issuing certificates and member IDs by hand, with no way for outsiders to check them.
02 What I built
Member lookup backed by Google Sheets, certificate issuing and revoking for admins, and host-based rewrites for the verification subdomain.
03 Security notes
Issuing and revoking certificates requires an authenticated admin. Public verification is read-only.
04 Impact
ARK certificates can now be checked by anyone, which makes them worth something on a resume. Member IDs went from a spreadsheet hunt to a search box.
