Key Responsibilities
- Frontend Architecture: Developed the full UI using React and Material UI, ensuring the notification stream was responsive and accessible.
- State Management: Implemented logic to handle different user states, specifically managing the Login/Logout flow within the notification dropdown.
- Error Handling: Created a robust error handling system to gracefully display API failures or network issues to the user without breaking the UI.
Collaboration & API Integration
While the backend APIs were built in Go by a teammate, I played a hybrid role of Developer and QA during the integration phase.
- API Consumption: Integrated RESTful endpoints to fetch, read, and delete notifications.
- Integration Testing: I actively tested the Go APIs as they were being developed. When I encountered inconsistencies or bugs in the response data, I documented them and created detailed tickets (Jira/GitHub) for the backend engineer.
- Feedback Loop: This process ensured that the frontend and backend remained in sync and that edge cases were caught early in development.
