Front-end Engineer
Pinduoduo
April 2020 - January 2021
https://www.pinduoduo.com/

Developed five front-end projects (1 in Vue, 4 in React) for three business groups as a dedicated front-end engineer in the Storage-Infra team. Also contributed to DevOps and engineering work as a member of the Admin-FE team.

  • Took over an old data service platform that integrated storage, conversion, validation, and searching functionalities. Collaborated with the back-end team to optimize operations, reducing personnel requirements from 3 to 1. Analyzed pain points, re-identified core concepts, redesigned pages, and standardized forms.

  • Participated in building two web apps (user-end and ops-end) from scratch for a new data-searching service platform. Contributed to requirements analysis, prototype design, data structure, API design, web app development, DevOps setup, and documentation.

  • Developed a SQL editor based on monaco-editor, providing highlights, auto-completion, syntax validation, and metadata parsing for the SQL dialect used in the search platform.

  • Established a monorepo within the front-end team to facilitate code sharing for DevOps tools, code generators, components, hooks, app layout, API definitions, TypeScript types, etc. Built four projects of my own and three projects from other team members.

  • Created a TypeScript-based component code generator in the monorepo using @angular/schematics. The generator creates various types of components and API hooks, including lists, forms, modals, details, selects, and status tags.

  • Introduced a file structure for components that separates exports, types, rendering, logic hooks, styles, and constants. This separation enhances business logic clarity, code readability, debugging, refactoring, testing, and performance, making it easier even for new graduates to write high-quality code within the framework.

  • Developed an API hook library based on useSWR and axios-hooks, simplifying backend API calls for front-end projects. With TypeScript types, developers only need one line of code to call an API and receive the return value along with metadata.

  • Currently involved in developing the web app for a new admin platform for ElasticSearch, which is an updated version of the ElasticSearch storage part of the old platform.
