Frontend Developer @ MEDI.SOLA
My first time working at a food and nutrition company. I loved the domain and their product focus. Starting a project from scratch with a tech stack I trust, I built a tool that people at MEDI.SOLA actually use every day—and I'm proud of that.
Joining MEDI.SOLA
Health, nutrition, and diet have long been personal interests of mine, and MEDI.SOLA operates in that very space—offering high-quality, nutrient-dense packaged meals for people with medical conditions and others who care deeply about what they eat. I was excited to see how I, as a web developer (and a bit of a fitness enthusiast), could help the company build better tools and grow.
Building Recipe Design
A couple of months in, I began designing and building an internal tool called Recipe Design—a web app used by the product team to create, test, and manage the recipes behind MEDI.SOLA’s meals. I started the project from scratch using a tech stack I trusted, some of which I was eager to try in production for the first time—most notably, TanStack Router, TanStack Query, TanStack Table, and shadcn/ui.
The result was a highly interactive, snappy React single-page application (SPA) that significantly boosted the productivity of the internal team.
It was also my first time working with Supabase (for database, authentication, and storage), and I was impressed with how smooth the experience was using their JavaScript client, supabase-js.
One of my personal highlights was committing to end-to-end testing from the start using Playwright. It gave me strong confidence in shipping changes—fixing bugs, adding features, or refactoring code—without worrying about breaking existing functionality.
