As my time at Costco progressed, I took on more substantial leadership roles, with a notable project being our responsive design initiative.

We employed then-modern build tools such as Webpack, utilized SCSS for styling, and implemented Mocha for testing. Through the application of industry-standard tools and patterns, we transformed the chaotic landscape of spaghetti/cowboy code into a well-ordered and efficient system.
