Co-creator of periqles, an open-source NPM package for GraphQL that uses introspection to generate React forms from an API schema.— Leveraged React in TypeScript to create an open-source React form library for GraphQL. — The library abstracts away the aspects of UI, state management, and form validation that can be inferred from a project’s API to help devs cut down on redundant work, while following the principle of separation of concerns for minimal added complexity to consuming projects.— Implemented A11y-compliant JSX and CSS to provide developers with UI that is accessible out of the box.— Created a full-stack application to demonstrate usage of the library, staging both a Relay and an Apollo client against an Express server to demonstrate the library’s client-agnostic flexibility.— Product developed with the support of tech accelerator OSLabs (https://opensourcelabs.io/).
