My contribution

• complete redesign and rebuild of the site from the ground up using React.js, Redux, and Express.js
• reconstructed the back-end, migrating to MongoDB with a new Express.js API
• collaborated closely with designers and project managers every week to keep the work moving and the vision coherent
