Experience
Video Maker | Renderforest

Before starting the main project, we created a media library, allowing users to manage their media files. The new media library is now being used in all Rainforest products.
We started by creating a list of components that became an npm module and used it in all new projects. I led a team that rewrote the whole video editor with new updated versions of all dependencies. After finishing the project, the performance of the video editor grew up to 3x. The new Video Maker has 10 million users with 30 million projects created.
