The project involved revamping the face of a cosmetic brand's website by switching to React for the user interface. I played a key role in revamping it, which resulted in a vastly improved user experience, reduced marketing expenditures, and other great results. The affiliates and vendors in this company were extremely satisfied and grateful.

This project is a great example of having both something attractive enough that a company can send traffic to, and that can also be used as a tool for customers and representatives. This is a three-in-one asset and another reason how web apps can simplify marketing and sales efforts.

This project created a better eCommerce journey and raised those dopamine levels with each scroll and mouse hover, giving people enough time to truly observe and understand what the brand conveys despite its sensitive nature. I worked as the senior React developer to revamp the website.

DSCVR is a Web3 social media app. As a front-end web developer, I built this innovative and user-friendly website. I also created custom features and functionalities that enhanced the user experience. Using my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript expertise, I collaborated closely with the design and development teams to bring our vision to life.

As a senior front-end developer, I built and maintained the front-end of Atrium, a data-driven sales management platform that helps sales managers, sales leaders, and sales operations professionals use data to improve representatives and team performance. One of the custom features that I developed was the omnibutton, a versatile and user-friendly tool that allows users to perform various actions on the platform with a single click. The omnibutton can be customized to suit user preferences and workflows and integrate with various APIs and third-party services. Some of the actions that the omnibutton can perform are creating new projects, adding or removing team members, generating reports, sending notifications, launching simulations, and more. The omnibutton was designed with React hooks and styled-components, and used Redux for state management and Axios for HTTP requests.

Another custom feature I developed was a dashboard that displays user data in an interactive and intuitive way. The dashboard also provides insights into individual representative performance, team performance, and coaching opportunities. The dashboard uses D3.js for data visualization, React Table for data grid, and React Query for data fetching.

As a senior front-end developer at TeachTCI, I created engaging and interactive social studies and science curricula for teachers and students.

One of the projects involved developing a teaching library that allows teachers to access and customize ready-made lessons that include slides, videos, texts, activities, assessments, and more. The teaching library was built with React and TypeScript, and I used GraphQL for data fetching and Apollo Client for state management. The teaching library also supports various features such as filtering, searching, sorting, bookmarking,and rating lessons. It helps teachers save time and effort in planning lessons and provides high-quality and standards-aligned content.

I also worked on other features such as a digital notebook, game, and reports that enhance the learning experience for students and parents. I enjoyed working with a talented and collaborative team of developers, designers, and educators at TeachTCI.

ClassDojo creates a positive and engaging classroom community for teachers, students, and parents. As a senior front-end developer, I contributed to one of the projects by helping ClassDojo move its app from Android to a progressive web app (PWA) that works on any device and platform. To achieve this, I used custom JavaScript code that leveraged modern web APIs such as service workers, web app manifest, push notifications, and offline storage. The PWA also improved the app's performance, reliability, and user experience by enabling faster loading, smoother transitions, and adaptive design. It also supported various features such as points, big ideas, portfolios, and messages that helped teachers encourage students, support social-emotional learning, and communicate with parents. The PWA helped ClassDojo reach more users worldwide and make their classrooms happier.

I also worked on other features, such as the game, reports, and stories, that enhanced the learning experience for students and parents while collaborating with a talented team of developers, designers, and educators at ClassDojo.

WhiteTower is a secure and reliable platform for alternative investment funds. As a full-stack engineer, I developed a sensitive data management system that allows fund managers and investors to securely upload, store, access, and share confidential documents such as financial statements, tax returns, contracts, and due diligence reports. The sensitive data management system was built with React and TypeScript on the front end and Node.js, Express, and MongoDB on the back end. The system also used AWS S3 for cloud storage, JWT for authentication, and AES-256 for encryption. I supported various features such as role-based access control, audit trail, notifications, and watermarking. The system helps WhiteTower comply with industry regulations and protect its clients' data.

I also collaborated with a team of developers, designers, and testers, as well as with the product owner, to understand the user needs and feedback and deliver features that meet their expectations and requirements.

As a full-stack engineer at Caterpillar, I contributed to creating innovative and sustainable solutions for the construction and mining industries. I played a key role in developing a web platform that allows customers to monitor, manage, and optimize their equipment and operations. The web platform is built with Angular and TypeScript on the front end and Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL on the back end. The platform also uses AWS for cloud services, GraphQL for data fetching, and D3.js for data visualization. It supports remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, fleet management, and performance analytics. The platform helps customers improve their productivity, efficiency, safety, and profitability. I also worked closely with the product owner to understand the customer needs and feedback and deliver features that meet their expectations and requirements.

PROVEN Skincare is a company that combines data science, AI, and dermatology to create personalized skincare solutions. As a full-stack engineer, I worked on all website pages using Node.js and React. I created custom components with React Hooks and styled-components, used React.lazy and Suspense to inject functional components dynamically based on the customer's quiz results and product recommendations, and updated the landing page with a new design. I also collaborated with the product owner to implement new features and improvements according to the customer's needs and feedback.
