As part of a new project in Angular (v10 initially, then v16 at the end). I joined a small team of 1 fullstack developer and 2 backend developers, along with another front-end developer with 3/4 years of experience. The application was just starting, and no work methodology or best practices were in place.

Challenges: Decide together on the most effective methodology, write specifications and documentation, and implement the features already conceived.

Achievements:

• Analysis of application designs and needs with the PO, then integration.

• Writing specifications (Architecture, functional, etc.).

• Taking responsibility for the front-end, becoming the lead developer and responsible for all application pages and their components.

• Implementation of a clean and organized architecture, establishment of naming and coding conventions.

• Project Quality:

◦ SonarCloud

◦ Lint

◦ Code review, validation during Pull Requests

◦ Minimum 80% code coverage by unit tests

• Improvement of the application's overall performance:

◦ Version upgrade (Angular 12 -> Angular 16)

◦ Creation of a reusable Angular component library

• Creation of a clean TS package specific to the project.

• Implementation of micro-frontends and an addon system to customize the application based on the user.

• Creation of a generic custom table component capable of displaying thousands of data points, filtering, sorting, with real-time custom column resizing.

• Creation of backend communications.

• Learning design patterns.

• Performing automated tests with Cypress.

MGI develops solutions for the printing industry, allowing the addition of effects such as selective varnish, hot foil stamping, and embossing on various media (paper, packaging, labels, etc.). Their technology is particularly valued in the luxury, publishing, premium packaging, and marketing sectors, as it enables high-quality visual and tactile finishes.

MGI was looking to overhaul all of their HMIs in Angular.

Meltdown bars are bars based on the world of video games. Their head office consists of a small team of 8 people, including only 1 developer. This developer is responsible for maintaining the websites (front and back) as well as developing new projects. To assist him in these new projects, I was hired as an intern integrator and worked closely with designers, POs, and the marketing team.

Challenges: Creation of several projects:

• Temporary website for the charity Make A Wish in partnership with League Of Legends France.

• Tribe mobile application

• Creation of a franchised back-office allowing easy generation of images corresponding to marketing and legal standards.
