    • Created an Eventbrite-like app (with Redux) to extend the capabilities of Eventbrite, giving users the possibility to manage entry at the door of the event from a smartphone.
    • Created a highly efficient and small React-Redux app embedded in iFrame for Filespin, an upload/viewer file service. Small footprint, using pure CSS and Redux/React without other dependencies (app weight 80kb gzipped).
