I architected and developed a greenfield React/Redux UI as part of a year-long legacy system replacement for fund fees and rebates for a global pension fund provider. Leading a UI team of three, we delivered a high quality, data-rich web front end under tight deadlines. Using early UX designs, I extrapolated a consistent look and feel into new screens, strictly keeping to a pre-defined set of standards. I incorporated full test coverage in Jest and mentored more junior members of the team on best practices through pair programming.

The project formed a major part of an initiative to set the UI strategy for future work within the department. Guidelines and technology decisions I made during the project formed the basis of this strategy and were adopted by other teams.

As part of a major project to develop an FX exchange for a client, I led the work on building the admin UI. This required handling large data sets and creating workflows for managing configuration. Real-time data was incorporated as part of live order reporting and challenges were overcome in the handling of this to make it useful for the user to work with. I worked with a dedicated UX designer during the course of the project and built out a React component library from scratch. The components were themed and incorporated rich UX design and behavior. I was in charge of organizing the work for a UI team of three, and we managed to deliver significant functionality within the tight timelines for the project.
