Brief

As the Frontend Lead for Stride, I spearheaded the development of an advanced educational platform designed to enhance digital learning and collaboration.

Using React.js and Redux, I built core features including a custom calendar with React Calendar, seamless file upload functionalities, and real-time graph visualizations. The project integrated a PostgreSQL database on the backend, ensuring reliable data management and smooth communication between the frontend and backend layers.

Learning and Growth

This project provided me with hands-on experience in leading a team of developers and coordinating frontend tasks with backend requirements. Working with Redux strengthened my state management expertise, and integrating PostgreSQL taught me how to design robust data-driven features in collaboration with backend developers.

The experience also sharpened my leadership skills—mentoring teammates, delegating tasks, and ensuring code quality through regular reviews. It helped me appreciate the importance of balancing technical implementation with teamwork and clear communication.

Takeaway

Stride was a milestone in my academic journey, blending technical depth with leadership experience.

By leading the frontend team, I not only enhanced my React and Redux expertise but also grew into a role where collaboration, time management, and innovation were key. The project was a stepping stone toward my professional career, giving me the confidence to take ownership of large-scale, real-world applications.
