- Built a production-ready, open source Electron application in order to enable visualization of GraphQL performance over a range of different operating systems to enhance developer experience- Integrated Express and Apollo Server to set up RESTful endpoints that allow developers to set up a Schema Definition Language, Schema Object, or an Introspection Query in order to launch a customized GraphQL server.- Implemented Apollo Client to fetch local and remote data in order to successfully render our presentational components through GraphQL server queries, requiring zero configuration for streamlined functionality.- Incorporated TailwindCSS to provide a consistent visual theme across the application, utilizing its styling techniques for an optimized, uniform, and modular UI/UX experience.- Utilized native Node.js modules to dynamically read and install user node modules to understand the developer’s uploaded schema and temporarily inject paths into the local node settings to avoid loading duplicate modules. - Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io)

- Used Agile Methodology to guide application building process, from ideation to launch utilizing best practices and techniques to meet product development deadlines in a fast-paced working environment. - Utilized React to build reusable, modular components, leveraging the unidirectional data flow for easier debugging, while also improving performance through the use of the virtual DOM. - Employed React Hooks’ useEffect and useState methods with presentational components to manage state in a readable and efficient way while maximizing code maintainability and uniformity.- Incorporated Node.js and Express to efficiently handle HTTP endpoints, engineering RESTful architecture with custom middleware to enable fast and consistent communication between server and client.

- Incorporated a NoSQL database via MongoDB to provide faster load times for the application user by taking advantage of the efficiency and speedy performance of a non-relational database. - Integrated CSS and SCSS to style the frontend React components to maintain a consistent visual theme throughout the application for an optimized UI/UX experience. - Created a server in Node.js for its ability to provide consistent performance to the client via it’s file system, path and child process module while delivering a real-time, push-based architecture.

- Styled frontend components with SCSS in order to provide an improved user experience and more readable stylesheet through nested syntax and reusable style variables.- Leveraged the existing codebase’s React containers to create and render new features including an easy to use calendar display and improved upon the create workout feature’s functionality.- Refactored styling components in SCSS and frontend components in React for easier maintainability, scalability, and readability for current and future contributors.
