• Designed and implemented internal MES UI interfaces for managing production processes and natural resource extraction using React JS. These interfaces ensured high performance and stability, allowing employees to work efficiently with the application throughout the day without client-side application freezes or excessive memory consumption.
• Collaborated closely with designers to create intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces. Participated in discussions and adaptations of layouts to achieve optimal user experience.
• Actively participated in the code review process.
• Refactored existing Django views into a full-fledged RESTful API, enabling the separation of frontend and backend logic. This provided more flexible and scalable interaction between system components.
• Developed over five complex interfaces, including dynamic charts, editable tables, modal windows, and other interactive elements. These components allowed users to easily analyze data and make decisions based on current information, as well as manage production through Kafka messages on the backend.
• Ensured high interface performance by using optimal state management approaches with Redux and efficient rendering methods of modern React JS with its hooks. This allowed users to keep pages open in browsers without performance loss.
• The project had strictly configured linters for TypeScript and pre-commit hooks to maintain code cleanliness.
