Northwest Natural

Team role: Senior Front-end lead. An existing project I brought to completion.

Tech Stack: Angular 8, Unslated, AEM, React.

Budget: 3.5 million

Production URL: https://www.nwnatural.com/

I was the front-end lead of this 17-month massive project.  I built out a component library of reusable blocks in storybook. Most of the work was leaning on es6 and modern js without needing a library. We also used angular for the self-service side of things, though that was a different team. 

A goal of mine in this project was to push for a AAA rating in accessibility, as this website that everyone had to use had natural gas in the PNW. I geared the color scheme to be WCAG compliant and tested high contrast settings on multiple pages. 

Finally, I oversaw a team of usability experts who we brought in to test the forms, push the keyboard navigation to its limits, and basically humble us with how to use the site.

• Over 35 developers rotated on and off this project.

• A good challenge, as we had to merge a React and Angular ecosystem.

• A 15-month project, delivered on time.
