Work Experience
Senior Front-end developer
2019 - PRESENT
Xpressdocs
- Developed the APM system, which allows users to simplify the ordering process by adding multiple orders of different types based on sale events and finishing them using their phones.
- Built the Xpresso web app system to replace the old PHP solution. This new solution features vastly complex ordering steps, allowing users to customize every smallest detail in their order.
- Oversaw the gradual migration of hundreds of customer companies to using new systems, gradually expanding the systems' features to cater to old customer requirements. Regularly cleaned up and refactored the source code to integrate more new features.
Technologies: React
CTO

Experience
Bee Form Library
https://bee-form.github.ioBee form provides asynchronous actions support for React forms together with all other features that we can find in other form libs. The solution also include basic validators, basic pasers/formatters, and a lighter version of Bee form named sync form
Pure React Real-world Demo
https://github.com/quanla/pure-react-sample-realworldThis is a demo to show how React itself can be an excellent front-end framework, counter to the common misconception that it does not have that capability and should only serve as a view library.
This project was done in 2 days.

Groupmatics
This is a huge, still-growing group ticket sales system that consists of hundreds of pages, wizards, charts, reports, dashboards, and more.
I led front-end development and made the first release after two months. Over the course of two years, I built both versions with a front-desk app for end users to purchase tickets along with a management app for admins and other stakeholders to manage the system and event listings. I also built a network of satellite apps to support the business, including an automated end-to-end test system, a map editor to draw and edit venue maps, and other tools and libraries, such as:
• A form library
• A seat location calculator
• A TCP tool to allow direct connections between computers
The system performs so well that maintenance is a breeze and upgrades are rarely needed.

Coffee House Sample
https://github.com/quanla/pure-react-sample-coffeeAnother sample to show how React as a framework (without Redux or MobX) can easily solve complicated form/wizard requirements.
macOS Demo
https://quanla.github.io/macos-demo/A React base OS-like app that hosts multiple processes and windows. Users can interact with the demo by working with a normal macOS system, which means launching a new app, closing old ones, making it full-screen, creating a new desktop, and moving between desktops.
Inflight Demo
https://quanla.github.io/in-flight-demo/A React-based app to mimic an inflight entertainment system. Features smooth transitioning between pages and 3D animation. The transitioning is complex as each page component transits at a different speed and some can relay over to the next page.
