Experience
Toptal UI Demo
This is a demo project I completed to attain Toptal's UI specialization. It is fully responsive and matches the UX requirements to the pixel. It is backed by React, Redux, and Saga, using Vanilla.js and CSS, and hosted on AWS S3. There are unit tests to ensure functionality, and several optimizations were employed to ensure snappy feedback, like client-side filtering to reduce calls to the server.

Developer Portal
Application using PostgreSQL, Node.js, and React that served as a platform for developers in the healthcare industry. The system was built as a quick prototype with CRA, which was ejected once the POC phase was complete, and revamped, scalable and maintainable. The UI uses custom React hooks and Tailwind CSS. The Node.js API had an Express router that grew to include GraphQL and interaction with SalesForce CRM as a 3rd party connection. The product was extremely well received by the organization partially because of its capacity to adapt quickly to changes.
