  • In a nutshell, the platform is a microservice-based infrastructure to construct client-specific emails, created by authors.

  • I was working on most of the parts of the UI development: adding new views, creating custom charts with D3 and React, analyzing design mockups, integrating the API, etc.
  • While working on the project, I increased my knowledge of D3 and learned to create custom charts "from scratch", honed my understanding of MobX, learned to work in an international team of developers, and managed to handle people onboarding.

  • An extension for the Dynamics 365 solution that allows fraud analysts to manually review transactions in cases when machine algorithms were unable to make an ultimate decision.
  • As for my role, I was mostly engaged in adding new views, components, and charts, negotiating with backend and design teams, and collecting clients' feedback.
  • In the end, I've learned to work with MobX, got acquainted with InversifyJS, Fluent UI, and "nivo" libraries, and understood the specifics of working with big customers.
