Context

At HiPeople I worked as a frontend engineer across the whole product, from screening and assessments to interviews and reference checks. The biggest part of my work was helping bring some of the product's early AI features into the platform while improving the frontend foundations so the team could move faster.

What I Built

I was especially involved in AI features such as reference check question generation, assessment suggestions, and resume screening. I helped shape two of the early important AI features in the product and worked on turning them into frontend experiences that felt useful, fast, and clear.

On the architecture side, I joined when the frontend was split across different repos that were supposed to feel like one product but did not. I led the refactoring and unification work across both apps, upgraded them from React 16, moved them into a monorepo, introduced a shared component library, and started a design system with Storybook.

What I Am Proud Of

The best part of the work was not just the features themselves, but how we built them. I pushed for close collaboration between frontend, design, and product so we could move quickly, stay autonomous on smaller decisions, and still get user feedback on the bigger ones.

I am also proud of the technical cleanup behind the scenes. I brought in stronger unit and end-to-end testing, which made the codebase healthier and made bugs easier to catch before shipping. The monorepo setup also made changes safer across apps and libraries, which improved maintainability a lot.

Alongside the product work, I hired and mentored frontend teammates and helped steer technical decisions as the team grew. For me, HiPeople was about two things: helping shape the first important AI features on the frontend, and leaving the codebase in a much better place than I found it.
