Work history

Glisser
Senior Front-end Developer (React)
2021 - 2022 (1 year)
Remote
  • Worked as a front-end developer for the Glisser product team. They wanted to break down the presentation side of the application and create multiple UI elements to be used as an SDK by the clients in their application.

  • Developed and led this migration of the current application from Angular to React and made it modular for the clients to consume directly in their applications.

  • Created a monorepo, initially using Lerna, and then moved to npm workspaces to manage all packages.

  • Rebuilt all the UI components based on Atomic Design for the presentation part of the application, which is the most used using React, styled-components, and TypeScript.

  • Built a JavaScript layer to support both technologies through the transition from Angular to React.

  • Wrote the documentation, guidelines, and lint for the team to follow.

  • Kickstarted the foundation for HTML, SCSS, and ES6 to be the main components using BEM-ish so that the UI components could be modified and extended by the team.

  • Communicated with designers and business analysts to make a consistent UI library so the project would have a maintainable and manageable components library legacy left to the university when the handover happens.

  • Mentored junior developers on best practices and facilitated problem-solving. The team consisted of three front-end developers (two juniors and one mid-level), and we all created and integrated the designed UI components with the back end.

  • Wrote code, guided, and supported other team members to collectively decide which technology to use and different approaches to take.

Portfolio

Loggly Dashboard

I helped Loggly rebuild the log management dashboard, which is their main product, which handles large amounts of data and translates it into charts and reports to the end-user.The rebuild was based on a new freshly designed UI using Angular, SCSS, and HTML.

BeFunky Photo Editor

Rebuild the whole user interface from the ground up using CSS (with loads of animations), JavaScript, and HTML5.The new UI replaced an old flash-based application with loads of new features and enhancements to users.

Tweet Split

Based on a few inspirational projects, I created this to play with Vue.js. It splits a long text into tweets (of 140 characters). It does not publish on Twitter, nor does it split based on spaces yet.
