What are my contributions?
As a Software Engineer at WAHI, I utilized Next JS, React Native, Typescript, Node JS along with other tools and techs to develop many features of the product along with maintenance of the applications. The mobile app is written in React Native, while the APIs and web application is written in Next JS and the shared common methods are written in Node JS.
Some of my key achievements and tasks included:
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and deploy features for the web platform, transitioning WAHI from a mobile-only application.
- Developed web application with the cross functional team, as WAHI was initially the mobile app.
- Automated PDF report generation for students, with scheduled weekly and monthly reports.
- Designed a customized sign-up flow for students, parents, and teachers, integrating admin approval workflows for purchased seats.
- Implemented event and error tracking across applications using Mixpanel.
- Enhanced search capabilities with Algolia to overcome Firestore's limitations.
- Streamlined email communications using SendGrid e.g. report notifications and member approvals.
- Integrated background job processing using Inngest for improved application efficiency.
