Shoppable Videos & Live Shopping

Achievements

From an internal company tool to a fully SASS product that users love

I'm proud to be responsible for the company's product re-design (video editing software) to be intuitive and easy to use, to allow users to build their own shoppable and interactive videos with total autonomy.

Mentoring

Mentored 4 team members (frontend devs), enabling them to achieve professional growth and personal goals.

Developing new features - React & typescript

Developed shoppable livestream platform, videos analytics dashboard, videos design manager tools and many other features.

Sketching and sharing

I was responsible for setting up a shared design process based on fast prototyping, usually sketching ideas on paper first, to accelerate the development cycle, enhance collaboration among team members, collect business and user feedback, and ultimately produce better products.

From mock-up to code

Thanks to a solid and granular component ecosystem, we could translate mock-ups into code very efficiently and quickly. We built a flexible and well-documented component library using Typescript, Material UI, and Storybook. Whereas the backend was responsible for providing the right endpoints, I was leading the frontend effort to make the most of that data retrieved and build smooth, responsive, and robust user interfaces using React, Typescript, Redux, and React Query.
