• Design system. Led React design-system architecture and adoption, personally implemented Figma integration, and guided component development. Unified application UI and established a shared design language between UX and engineering.
• Microfrontends. Defined the architecture and built the foundation, adopted by ~100 apps across ~20 teams. Standardized monolith decomposition, reusable modules and independent releases. Originated the ongoing consolidation of dozens of Corporate Bank portals toward a unified client portal.
• Plexus Interop. Architected, developed and delivered the web implementation of Plexus Interop, connecting 100+ Deutsche Bank applications across technologies. Open-sourced through FINOS; upstream is now archived. github.com/finos/plexus-interop
• Resilience & state continuity. Originated the safe-mode approach and contributed architecture and implementations that preserve app launch and most functionality during dependency outages. Used selective client/server write-behind caching; conceived a type-safe user-preferences API to restore application state after refreshes and restarts.
• Diagnostics & analytics. Implemented the JavaScript logger, logging backend and analytics tracker; designed support log retrieval and a standard feature-event schema. Support engineers can inspect browser logs and navigation/action history; teams can explore user flows.
• Performance & accessibility. Developed a microfrontend equivalent of FCP measurement in the shared analytics portal. Conceived and architected CDN delivery of shared dependencies for cache reuse. Defined the accessibility testing approach for framework and portal components.
