“I have been working with a FTSE100 renewable energy provider to build the frontend for a new, enterprise-grade online shopping application for an internal business function. I have been given the autonomy to own, design and deliver a modern React web application interfacing with a series of backend APIs. The application has been built from scratch and forms part of a wider, cloud-hosted microservices build, built in-house by the Baringa team. It has been extremely rewarding to see this project through from design to delivery. Working in a team with 7 other Baringa colleagues has been great fun and afforded lots of learning opportunities!” – Jack I., Consultant
