The product is created using React Native and React Native Web and currently has around 96% shared code between the different platforms.\n\nAdditionally, I have been working on CI/CD and various DevOps related tasks to build up the tooling around the product (AWS S3, AWS Lambda, AWS Cloudfront, Github, Github Actions, Azure DevOps, Azure, etc.)\n\nI am also currently working with some initial project analysis for new projects and I have begun maintaining some of our backend code (C#)"

The work began in 2016 with just me on the project and consisted of a proof of concept version containing everything from framework selection, structure, style guides build chain, continuous deployment, and an actual initial working version. The result where the platform which I was given technical ownership over and which I, along with two others, worked on expanding over the next year. The platform is currently powering _m.trendsales.dk_. The project is build using React and state management are done using Redux. In addition to the of the shelve frameworks, we also needed to develop quite a few bespoke frameworks, in order to meet demands. Among others, these were created to solve the following issues:\n\n* Introducing a new navigational paradigm\n* Create a more flexible routing mechanism\n* Be able to serve skeleton page, for page transitions while still being able to create complete server-side pages\n* Ensure project flows between multiple systems such as Github, Jira, Octopus Deploy, AppVeyor and Docker"
