As a member of the frontend team at JustPark, I developed scalable, reusable UI components using React, significantly enhancing the user experience for millions of drivers. I played a key role in improving the post-booking flow, ensuring a seamless experience for users to manage their reservations. Additionally, I worked on optimizing the space owner pages, providing an intuitive interface for space owners to list and manage their parking spots. I prioritized performance optimization, achieving faster load times, and ensured cross-browser compatibility. Collaborating within an agile environment, I followed best practices such as code reviews and automated testing to deliver fast, responsive, and accessible applications.
