NDA
Grocery Store –

A complete rebuild of a grocery store website in React and Next.js, replacing out-of-the-box solutions for their storefront, blogs, and advertising with a unified build.

My Role

As the lead front-end architect I estimated and planned new features, set coding standards, and mentored and reviewed code for over 20 developers.

Coolest Part

This project is a career highlight. Several developers told me I was the best boss they'd ever had. The collaboration between our team and the client's was wholesome and imbued with mutual respect. I deeply enjoyed working with them.
