VISTA: Account Details (MFE)
- •Improved build times by up to 40% and enhanced development speed with faster Hot Module Replacement (HMR) and optimized bundling by successfully migrating applications from Create React App (CRA) to Vite.
- •Transitioned the project from Jest to Cypress for end-to-end (E2E) testing, leveraging Cypress and Cucumber to implement behavior-driven development (BDD) principles for testing workflows.
Syf-API-Library Mono-repo
- •Developed a dedicated repository to standardize types across all Micro Frontends (MFEs) and published it to our private library, ensuring consistency, reliability, and efficiency across applications.
- •Used React Query/TanStack Query to write custom hooks that can be consumed by other applications, ensuring dependability and reducing redundant API calls across MFEs.
- •Developed a mock data generator inside the syf-api-library using Mock Service Worker (MSW), enabling seamless testing of user stories on the fly and supporting the team in adopting and maintaining an Agile development workflow.
- •Enabled sandbox environments with the mock data generator, reducing the effort required by developers to maintain their own mocks.
Card Actions MFE
- •Developed a monorepo containing a small bundle of features used by different parent applications.
- •Successfully migrated applications from Jest to Vitest, resulting in faster test execution times and improved developer productivity due to Vitest's enhanced performance, built-in TypeScript support, and better integration with Vite for optimized performance and build time.
Account Card MFE
- •Implemented a Micro Frontend (MFE) strategy that streamlined the integration of new features, reducing onboarding time for new developers by 25% and fostering a more agile development environment. This led to enhanced team productivity and morale.
- •Optimized the story creation process by introducing Gherkin syntax for writing Acceptance Criteria, ensuring a consistent and clear source of truth accessible to all team members.
