Achieved a 6% increase in damage declaration (63% → 69%), user retention growth (76% → 88%), and code coverage improvement (0% → 60%). Utilised React, TypeScript, SonarCloud, and Google Analytics.
• Led development to optimise the vehicle profiling journey and seller communication, introducing a timeline feature that improved seller visibility on their vehicle status. Achieved a 65% increase in first-time resolution of inquiries, reducing customer support dependency. Utilised React, TypeScript, and Storybook.
• Documented the Timeline feature, covering status mappings, UI behaviors, and routing logic to support feature adoption and cross-team collaboration.
• Developed DataDog dashboards to monitor web application health and performance, enabling proactive issue detection and contributing to a 30% reduction in overall errors.
• Designed engineering guides and process documentation to streamline onboarding, ensuring smoother knowledge transfer. Assisted in creating detailed documentation on review app creation, staging, and production deployment.
• Actively contributed to the recruitment process by reviewing take-home assignments and participating in live coding interviews and cultural interviews.
