Summary

• Built an improved version of a modal that better captured the details of a mentorship request and made it possible for mentees to become mentors. The modal had additional checkboxes and input fields.
• Performed a progressive phasing out of Bootstrap CSS in favor of SCSS to make the app lean and provide a greater degree of development control.
• Cleaned up SQL queries by removing unnecessary joins from older REST API endpoint implementations and thus making subsequent database(PostgreSQL) reads faster.

Summary

• Built a responsive modal for a React.js internal admin dashboard, used to capture and send form data to a REST API which communicated with various microservices as part of a larger architecture.
• The initial implementation of the form used multiple `useState` hooks to capture data, I migrated this state management to a single `useReducer` hook to remove clutter in the code brought about by this.
• Increased coverage of end-to-end tests for the admin dashboard leveraging the Cypress library and integration tests leveraging React-Testing Library.

Summary

• Implemented design templates for a customer dashboard generated using Invision which included multi-step forms with modals and charts used to capture client configuration data for the iOS, Android and Typescript SDKs.
• Used SCSS and Pug template engine for the styling and markup and HighCharts library for implementing the chart views.
• Built a Typescript SDK that mirrored our iOS and Android SDKs to achieve reachability on Web app clients. Also leveraged the TypeDocs library to render HTML documentation for the SDK which I eventually uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket for easy access.
