U.S. Government — Veterans Affairs and NAEP

Context

Two federal programs with unforgiving requirements: one determining whether caregivers qualify for veterans' benefits, the other delivering standardized assessments to 4th, 8th, and 12th-grade students nationwide.

What I owned

• Developed Caregivers functionality determining VA benefits qualification, using React and Redux
• Wrote unit tests with Jest and integration tests with Cypress, collaborating with designers and back-end developers on API strategy
• Developed standardized assessments for 4th, 8th, and 12th-grade students using React, Redux, and TypeScript
• Designed the student login page and contributed to the quiz and question modules, implementing server-side rendering with Next.js
• Collaborated with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines using SonarQube and GitLab CI, and wrote Jest tests for XML parsing of IBIS data

Outcome

Public-sector software held to public-sector scrutiny, with test and pipeline discipline to match.
