Key Contributions
- Platform migration — helped move the application from legacy Salesforce patterns to Lightning Web Components and Lightning Web Runtime, working incrementally to avoid disruption
- Design System — contributed to a reusable component library in LWC that brought visual consistency across all pages, including ones the original designs didn't cover
- Compliance awareness — worked within strict medical data handling requirements throughout development
Technical Stack
- Apex for backend logic and business rules
- Lightning Web Components for the component-based UI
- Lightning Web Runtime for the application shell
- SOQL for data access
Why It Mattered
Medical software doesn't get second chances. The migration had to happen in-place, on a live system, with users who couldn't afford disruption. Getting this right required careful sequencing and constant coordination with the existing team.
