Experience
Script Loader React Hook
A React hook that can be used to load any type of script on the fly. I came up with this hook when I was working on a micro front end and had to load a React component on the spot. We also created a micro app renderer on top of that for a separate project.

Circularo
Provides a smart online space designed to simplify and accelerate all personal and business paperwork and digital tasks. Prepare, sign, track, and organize your contracts in hours instead of days and manage everything from a single platform.
API Mocker
https://github.com/essaji/api-mocker/An API mocker tool that helps front-end developers. It has a UI to add and mock APIs as JSON-type responses. In situations when the back-end work is still pending, front-end developers can use this tool to mock the back end and continue working on the front end.
This project is still in progress as we are working on handling more complex scenarios, e.g., sending an image as a response, etc. Since I am currently working on the front end most of the time, this API mocker has proved very useful for me so far.
