Case studyDept UK
I was brought in to Dept (UK) for a contract role after having previously worked with them (as Building Blocks) in a permanent position.
My job here was to take over and help lead a project that had been in progress for some time, and to refactor and help finish the work.
Collaborating both remotely and on-site with a team of front-end developers in Amsterdam and back-end developers in Manchester, we got the project back on track and are improving the quality of the product.
The product is a booking engine for one of Dept’s long standing clients.
The front-end is built using React, Redux, and Sagas, and interacts with multiple external APIs to provide booking data and content from a Tridion CMS instance. It is scheduled to be A/B tested over Christmas 2018 and fully launched in early 2019.
