Grew a new person out of nothing but milk.

Worked with a small team of full-stack engineers, building a product that performs AI-driven analysis of customer feedback.● Built/revamped the front end for most of the in-app single-page UX, increasing ARR from $0 to ~$300k.● Implemented complex navigation for the left sidebar, redid the layout for the main content with reusable content cards and horizontal scrollers, and added a header section with new charts using the Recharts library.● Refactored the API calls to use a new API that queried Algolia in the back-end, which was implemented to make our data more consistent across the app.● Implemented a citation drawer, a page-level MUI drawer that opens when the user clicks on a quote, and shows a citation to reveal where the AI got the data from, in order to gain the user's trust. Used React Context to allow reusability across the app and avoid prop drilling.● Implemented Workspaces feature, which allows users to create custom views of their data, and share them with their team. This included building charts that used data from across different AI reports.● Acted as team lead with project planning & CI/CD, code reviews, and 1:1s.
