Dottie - Open Source Project

Front-end Developer & Contributor

February 2025 - Current

As one of four selected frontend code owners on the project, I played a key role in leading initiatives that enhanced both code quality and team efficiency across a group of 10+ contributors. I refactored the user authentication context to implement JWT-based session management, which strengthened security, simplified token handling, and reduced authentication-related bugs by 30%. To improve the overall user experience, I identified and enhanced underperforming UI components—adding usability which led to a 25% increase in engagement across key user flows. I also modernized over 100 frontend modules by removing dead code, resolving more than 400 ESLint violations, and aligning legacy patterns with React and TypeScript best practices, significantly improving maintainability and onboarding for new developers. Additionally, I reduced code review time by 40% by introducing pre-commit hooks with Husky to automate linting and formatting checks, ensuring consistent code quality before submission.

Front-end Engineer

August 2024 - October 2024

During my short tenure, I focused on improving the modularity and maintainability of the codebase by refactoring several React components and introducing the useContext hook to eliminate prop drilling. This streamlined state management and reduced complexity by around 50 lines per module, making the frontend architecture cleaner and easier to maintain. I also proactively identified UI/UX challenges—particularly issues caused by rigid layouts using absolute positioning and fixed heights—and proposed refactoring strategies to enhance responsiveness. To support efficient development workflows, I built and tested new UI features in isolation using Storybook, ensuring components were stable and user-friendly before integration. Throughout, I worked closely with senior frontend engineers, backend developers, and the product team to deliver thoughtful, user-centered improvements.

My efforts resulted in the creation of cross-browser compatible, responsive user interfaces that enhanced user experience by using current techologies such as NextJs, Tailwind, custom UI components and Postman for API. I collaborated efficiently in agile, cross-functional teams, driving the rapid and successful iteration of product features. My proactive approach to identifying and resolving production issues ensured the platform's reliability and performance.
