Project: Unofficial Team Lead for App Migration
At SAP-Concur, I collaborated with a team of four developers to migrate a React app to Drupal with a tight deadline. The migration was necessary due to frequent bug fixes and the app’s reliance on a technology stack which the team had limited proficiency with. The team was divided into back-end and front-end groups, with my focus being on front-end development.
A major communication challenge emerged because the team was still adapting to an unexpected transition to full-remote work. Recognizing this, I proposed and coordinated twice-a-week virtual sync-ups to improve communication and track progress. I also took the initiative to identify opportunity to minimize redundant work, such as taking the lead in managing the shared CSS styling of both customer-facing and admin-facing UIs.
The project was successfully delivered on time, despite the unanticipated challenges in workplace communication. And while I did not receive formal recognition for my contributions, my proactive involvement ensured the project stayed on track.
