• Constructed the mock microservice application frontend in React which utilized modular components in order to reduce render times by minimizing the number of re-renders.
• Implemented gRPC to convert JSON data to protobuf messages, reducing latency between requests and responses and decreasing complexity in order to promote a more rapid development process.
• Built client and server stubs using Node.js to aid in transferring data between microservices in order to handle concurrent requests more efficiently and to improve scalability.
• Created a proxy server in the mock microservice application in Node.js/Express in order to efficiently route requests from the client to the appropriate microservice and translate those requests into gRPC’s HTTP2.
• Configured webpack to transpile the front-end assets of the mock microservice application to produce minified, uglified, tree-shaken bundles for better asset caching and load-times.
• Utilized a NoSQL database to securely store user and book data within their respective microservices.

• Implemented a UI built with React to allow frequent user interaction and changes to state can be updated quickly while maximizing maintainability.
• Employed a Node.js/Express server to handle a myriad of HTTP requests and route them to the correct endpoints which allowed the application to scale quickly by adding additional routes.
• Implemented a relational database to securely store user data in order to allow concurrent connections from multiple clients and maintain ACID compliance (particularly atomicity) as the application scales.
• Utilized Webpack to bundle front-end files for production, allowing deployment efficiency, and configured proxy-server with hot-module-reloading to create a seamless development experience and debugging process.

• Implemented React to leverage its modular component architecture to construct an interactive interface and update the UI in real time.
• Employed a TDD strategy using Jest Enzyme and Supertest to ensure HTTP routes and React components performed as expected to ensure so the user experience wasn’t disrupted and new features could be added seamlessly.
• Utilized a NoSQL database in order to securely store relational user and authentication data.

• Managed state using Redux in order to make the application easier to debug and easily track which actions make changes to state.
• Leveraged SCSS to establish a set of design rules and variables in order to save color schemes and handle changes in screen size which made the UI more visually appealing and visualized components in an organized and.

• Fostered a smoother development environment by engineering the login page using React Hooks which streamlines the codebase and makes it easier for the development team to extract state.
• Improved the user experience by adding GitHub OAuth to the login page allowing a smoother login and registering process.
• Allowed for seamless navigation by implementing React Router to avoid page refreshing while maintaining the correct view of the application.
