we.trade

The we.trade platform is a digital one stop shop for trade. The platform, built on the IBM Blockchain Platform using Hyperledger Fabric, offers banks’ customers access to a simple user-interface, leveraging innovative Smart Contract and opening up potential new trading opportunities.

We worked on this with a team of 20 very capable developers, where every developer was challenged to become a full-stack/blockchain developer. I took the responsibility for the architecture of the front-end applications and mentored the junior developers on the project. Aside from this I participated in the design process by taking the time to spar with the design-team and communicating daily about design changes/improvements.

Project activities:
- Developing two web-applications by using Angular4 and Bootstrap;
- Communicating with a Hyperledger Blockchain by using Loopback and Composer;
- Safeguarding the code quality with code-reviews and Jasmine unit-tests;
- Educating junior developers about best practices, unit-tests, and the Angular4 framework;
- Assisting the designers in the quality of the design by advising on responsiveness, animations, and vector images;
- Holding an unspoken workaholic competition by being surprisingly chatty on Slack when working late.
