As a Frontend Developer in a startup, I’ve gained significant experience over the past 8 months, contributing to various aspects of the project.

Initially, I helped migrate the MVP app from Vue.js to a React.js and Next.js environment, adapting the code to the new stack.

I continuously contributed to ideating and developing new features alongside the UX team and my senior frontend colleague. This involved researching the best libraries (date-fns, slate.js, etc) and documenting technical decisions and reasoning in Confluence.

I built new components using Styled Components and TypeScript, which were added to the Storybook-based component library. Some components were customized from the Carbon UI library.

I worked extensively with the UI, gaining a strong understanding of Flexbox, Grid, and CSS in general. I also connected frontend components to backend services, integrating dynamic data from FastAPI endpoints for operations like adding, editing, and deleting data, ensuring smooth communication between the frontend and backend systems.
Additionally, I fetched data and managed state using React hooks like useState, useRef, useContext and costum hooks.

I also gained experience working with Git in a collaborative repository, handling contributions from multiple team members. Task management was done via Jira, and daily and weekly planning meetings ensured the team remained synchronized and focused.
