ReactTypeScriptnpm WorkspacesVitestGitHub ActionsComponent DesignFull-StackAzure App ServicesAzure Blob StorageCosmosDBAzure DevOpsApplication InsightsFunction Apps

Engineered five production npm packages, establishing a scalable, reusable component-based architecture. These packages provide 40+ UI components and utilities consumed across multiple applications, reducing front-end development time by standardizing patterns and eliminating duplicate code.

Established monorepo architecture with npm workspaces, enabling independent package versioning and publishing. Implemented automated CI/CD workflows with change detection, conditional testing, and auto-versioning—reducing manual overhead and ensuring fast, reliable package releases to GitHub Packages.

Implemented comprehensive automated testing infrastructure using Vitest + React Testing Library, delivering 36+ component tests with focus on accessibility (ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, focus management) and user interaction. Tests run in CI/CD pipeline on every commit, ensuring quality gates before production deployment.

Deployed multiple full-stack applications leveraging the package ecosystem: portfolio site, resume app, and project hub—each demonstrating real-world validation of component reusability, accessibility compliance, and TypeScript-first development practices in production environments.

Architected and deployed Azure-backed infrastructure for project-hub application, leveraging Azure App Services, Blob Storage, and managed database services to enable scalable, production-grade hosting.
