I contributed primarily to the frontend development of the platform, working with Vite.js and TypeScript to build responsive, user-friendly interfaces that improved the overall product experience. Beyond frontend work, I gained hands-on exposure to the backend systems by working with Java SpringBoot, where I not only troubleshot and fixed issues but also shared recommendations on coding practices that supported long-term maintainability and learned a lot more about production-ready code As part of a collaborative, agile team, I actively participated in scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives, which sharpened my ability to break down tasks, manage workloads, and deliver within deadlines. This experience strengthened both my technical and teamwork skills, giving me a strong foundation in building scalable applications and working effectively in professional software engineering environments.
