Schema-Driven Form System

Senior Software Engineer · Kellton · 2022–2024

The Problem

Forms across multiple modules duplicated business logic, slowing development and making maintenance difficult.

My Contribution

Built a schema-driven form system using React and TypeScript, extracting shared behavior for field changes, existing-data population, conditional expressions, tab visibility, and action-button states into reusable components.

Trade-offs

Centralized common form behavior while keeping module-specific API endpoints, success handlers, and specialized fields configurable.

Outcome

  • Reduced development time for similar form-based features by approximately 90%.
  • Reduced repeated form logic across multiple modules through reusable components.
  • Improved maintainability by centralizing shared behavior and simplifying future changes.

Frontend Performance & Delivery

Lead Engineer · Kellton · 2025–Present

The Challenge

Improve application loading performance and maintain engineering quality as the frontend and its feature set grew.

Performance Optimization

  • Reduced initial loading time by approximately 45% through React rendering optimization, code splitting, and data-fetching improvements.
  • Validated performance improvements using Google Lighthouse and manual timing.

Engineering Quality & Testing

  • Reduced SonarQube-reported code duplication from approximately 6% to as low as 2.2% through frontend refactoring.
  • Helped increase project test coverage from approximately 35% to over 90% using Jest and React Testing Library.

Technical Leadership

  • Coordinated frontend delivery within a six-person engineering team.
  • Mentored three engineers through code reviews and technical guidance.
