About

A hybrid web-app built from the ground-up for swimmers of all ages and levels.

Notable Contributions

Apart from run-of-the-mill responsibilities of a front-end developer, following are some highlights I was a part of with the project:

• Significantly improved developer productivity

  • by reducing incremental JS bundle build times from over 40 seconds to under 4 seconds, an improvement of ~90%

• Built a React-powered input which responds to @mentions on the fly.

  • Smartly fitlers and displays a list of suggestions.
  • User profiles are linked to when @mentioned in a published comment.

• Built a React-powered date-of-birth field that automagically takes care of the separator in the field - / - leaving the user with a pleasant and quick experience

• Focused on user experience by suggesting and working on improvements:

  • standardized action buttons' behaviour across the webapp
  • built loading indicators within action button to gently inform users of progress in real-time (perceived performance)
  • displayed helpful info messages to users where none were in place
  • fixed tiny non-uniformities in the UI as much as possible

• Proactively reported bugs and worked on fixes to improve app stability and predictability for the user

  • included some cross-browser fixes for Mozilla Firefox

• Introduced unit-testing to the project
