Built a library of customizable UI components that enables developers to quickly prototype and build accessible Svelte applications, allowing them to expedite front-end development and mitigate technical debt of potential front-end migrations Integrated TypeScript to enforce strong and static typing, saving time in development by leveraging its real time type checking capabilities, and ensuring navigability and readability for subsequent contributors across a collaborative, scaling codebasePracticed Test Driven Development, writing Jest unit tests to check for components’ compliance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 3.0) before writing any code to reduce bugs in production and enhance code readability and manageability Employed accessibility testing using a suite of widely used browsers and assistive technologies to simulate the experiences of impaired users, ensuring consideration of a wide range of end users and the integrity of the codebase upon future contributionsCollaborated within a team of 4 engineers in a fully Agile setting to plan and accomplish sprint goals, facilitate code reviews, and evenly distribute engineering tasks, boosting productivity and efficiency within the teamOpen Source Product developed under tech accelerator, OSLabs (opensourcelabs.io)

Applied the Socket.io library atop the WebSocket protocol to enable bidirectional communication over a single TCP connection, significantly reducing server overhead by eliminating the need to establish a new connection for each new message sentConstructed a simple and seamless chat interface in React with reusable components to enhance navigability in a lean codebaseImplemented custom React hooks to provide global access to application theming context, simplifying both component-level code and the developer interface by abstracting state and logic around theming into a separate Provider moduleHandled client data storage in chat room-based sessions, removing the need for a dedicated database, and more closely mimicking the ephemerality of human conversation

Merged features from the Spotify API with a relational database to create a user-personalized web application for music reviewsLeveraged Spotify Oauth 2.0’s secure and convenient user authentication and validation to streamline sign-in/sign-up flowsUsed React with the Material UI library to build a responsive user interface, utilizing React Router to create a performant SPA, and hooks to efficiently manage state and component lifecycle methods, as well as facilitate stateful behavior between components

Utilized React hooks to eliminate the Higher-Order Component pattern to reduce the number of abstraction layers, create reusable components, and simplify the managing, tracking, and updating of state across the applicationComposed a Node.js/Express server following the MVC pattern to efficiently handle HTTP requests to multiple endpoints by modularizing backend routes, enhancing code readability and maintainability, and streamlining debuggingImplemented a relational database to ensure data adherence to strict schemas and relay predictable data shapes to the front end
