I’ve received constantly good feedback and already provided value by:Successfully steering team to adopt a more TDD-centric approach to ticket work - ensuring each new piece of work is accompanied by appropriate unit/E2E testsShowcasing more effective approach to ticket refinement - which was later adopted - and has resulted in the team successfully completing its last 2 sprints for the first timeAfter reviewing the current front-end, I highlighted and fed-back a list of opportunities for improvement. This ultimately resulted in a successful proposal to redesign the front-end entirelyPrior to this I worked with a highly experienced team on mature piece of software working on front/back end and infrastructure (kafka, docker helm)Build frontend, backend and infrastructure solutions using React, TypescriptConduct software testing in Jest, Vitest, Cypress and Junit - using TDD principles to ensure high standard of workDesigned reusable front-end components Co-ordinated and deployed key feature features requiring the work of several developersImproved infrastructure with the inclusion of Helm - simplifying existing application management
