Work Background

AuroraHead of Frontend Development

Jun. 2021 - Dec. 2022Brno, South Moravia, CzechiaAs a Head of Frontend Development I was responsible for every JS or TS based project as well as for the developers working on those projects. That is why I can say that this role consisted from three parts. Firstly it was a role of a manager, secondly it was a role of a software architect and thirdly it was a role of a developer. The manager role included common parts as making 1:1s with developers, leading the developers from different E2E teams and setting their goals during they path of growth, leading the interviews, etc. I eas also getting up with new ideas how to tune our development processes, optimise the development flow or reduce the unnecessary time consuming activities, e.g. meetings or so. While I was taking care of our developers I was also there to make technical decisions and improve the architecture of our products. This included supporting the developers with advices and with custom CLI tools to ease up their work. The technical part of this role consisted from creating the code standards, taking care about the code quality, reducing the code duplications between teams and implementing the tools which took care of the listed standards. Besides that I helped define and set up the automated tests and created the base processes. As we had more teams working on different projects I was the one who took care about the consistency of the codebase between those projects. The last part of this role was the development. I was preparing some CLI tools and also developing some POCs for features which were technically more complex. Tools and libraries we were using: - Typescript - React, create-react-app, custom CLI tool - Redux, redux-thunk, redux-saga - storybook - Formik - NodeJS, Express - Docker - Webpack, Babel - Enzyme, Jest, Cypress - Graphql - Eslint, Prettier, semantic release, husky - JSS, material-ui - Lerna - Gitlab CI

This included managing the configurations, the architecture, setting the code conventions, the best practices, choosing the proper toolset/technology etc. My primary focus was on e-commerce platform where we already used server-side rendered React, Apollo server and client for GraphQL query resolution, loadable-components, styled-components, typescript, etc. Except that, we were developing a UI library for e-commerce platform as well as for all internal systems using styled-components and storybook following the react atomic design. I also developed a library with CLI interface which was similar to react-scripts from create-react-app, but it was more flexible and more configurable. Except that I was drivig the transition from monolithic architecture to microfrontends architecture. This included designing the new architecture, figuring out the least painful transition plan and developing the critical parts. These parts were the shared libraries resolution on frontend side to decrease the code duplication, the layout application which glued together the different fragments and setting up the environment for easier development which included server side rendering. This also included a little coding in C#.
