Experience
Risk | End-to-end Fraud Management System
This is a React-based dashboard for fraud analytics. The app was slow and cumbersome to use and develop. I initiated a long-term incremental migration to React to systematically improve the platform's UI/UX, developer experience (DX), and speed.
Here is what I achieved after completing the migration:
• Decreased the app load times from about five to ten seconds to one to two seconds.
• Decreased the app bundle sizes from 7MB to 200KB and 100KB per page bundle size.
• Decreased the app build speed from five minutes to 30 seconds.
• Improved user experience with load times and feature clarity as well as added delightful and snappy interactions.
