• Integrated Typescript’s static, structural typing system, resulting in reduced runtime errors and improving cross-development team code generation and ensuring overall scalability

• Leveraged Jest testing framework for TDD with unit tests to expedite code reviewing and integration of new features

• Manipulated Chrome API to implement publisher-subscriber patterns with the user's state-updating components to generate and display state snapshots

• Utilized Recoil, Express, SQL and Web APIs to build a complex client focused application to test the dev tool against all features of Recoil

• Built application with Webpack for future scale, maintainability and faster load times by writing configuration to utilize hot module reloading, ES6+ transpilation for developer packages, and using minification and uglification features to decrease bundled file size
