How I approached?

Designing a Flexible and Structured CMS Editor Experience

Experience

Designed and implemented the core article editor and surrounding UI for a large-scale content management system. The frontend architecture emphasized flexibility and extensibility to support complex editorial workflows and ongoing requirement changes.

Building a Scalable Frontend Foundation for a High-traffic CMS

Architecture

Developed most frontend-facing CMS features, including content submission, authenticated interactions, validation, and large-scale content listing, while accounting for performance and stability under heavy traffic.

Improving CMS Usability Through Feedback-driven Sprint Iteration

Delivery

Continuously improved the CMS experience through direct user feedback. Issues and enhancement requests were reviewed within sprint cycles and delivered as incremental improvements.

Establishing a Maintainable Frontend Workflow Within a Cross-functional Team

Collaboration

Worked closely with designers and backend engineers in a sprint-based workflow. Emphasized maintainability, shared standards, and clear documentation to support long-term development and smooth team collaboration.
