React

Here are 3 projects that I've worked on tagged React.

Panther Console

Panther is a cloud-based SIEM (Security information and event management) cybersecurity company that I worked for. The product ingests logs from various sources and helps security teams identify threats based on pre-built and custom detection rules. One of its differentiators is that the detections were built as code - in Python. The backend was a mix of golang and python deployed to a largely serverless infrastructure and made extensive uses of queues, document-based data stores, data lakes, etc. The front-end was react and typescript and interfaced with the backend via GraphQL. My primary focus was on our detection and alerting interfaces, as well as integrating with third party services, and building out tooling for AI. Within these realms, I worked on the full stack of the Panther application - from architecting features, defining graphql services, and implementing backend logic in golang to building out front-end components and MCP servers.

Galactic Crypto Card

Galactic was a startup that was developing a product that would allow workers who were paid in cryptocurrency to easily spend their earnings via a debit card that linked to their wallet. I contracted with them to mentor/pair program with new frontend developers on building out the new user registration flows and account management pieces of the product. The company was unfortunately shut down before the product was launched.

Modest Control Panel

The Modest Control Panel was a multi-tenant Content Management System that allowed merchants to manage their Modest powered storefronts. Features included the management of store themes, payment gateways, shipping methods, orders, third party e-commerce product syncing, and even generating standalone iOS applications. The backend of this app was built in Python using the Flask framework. The front-end was initially built with plain Javascript and jQuery, but was eventually migrated to React. As the Modest client application tech lead, I oversaw and greatly contributed to the overall product architecture and implementation of this web application.
