• Hy-Vee, an almost 100-year-old grocery chain in the United States, wanted to build a new version of their digital storefront. I joined a team of product engineers working across web and mobile to rebuild their legacy .NET application (~500k MAU) with React and React Native.
• On the frontend, I led our move from a custom webpack and React configuration to Next.js and the latest React patterns. In the process, I shared my learnings online, helping educate members of the React and Next.js community.
• Throughout my two years, I was able to work on some hard problems: decoupling a decade old monolith into microservices, working with a federated GraphQL API, learning and occasionally managing a Kubernetes cluster, building and implementing a design system, incrementally migrating individual components and routes to a new framework and infrastructure, and more.
