Overview

The platform had to support several user types, present sensitive information clearly, and stay approachable for school teams under real operational pressure.

Challenge

  1. Make the product feel supportive rather than administrative.
  2. Keep role-based journeys understandable across a broad user base.
  3. Hold performance and clarity as the platform grew.

Approach

  1. Built reusable React and TypeScript components across the core product.
  2. Improved visual consistency and layout behaviour across key screens.
  3. Worked with cloud-backed integrations and production deployment.

Outcomes

  1. Delivered a more coherent and accessible product experience.
  2. Helped a platform with real educational and wellbeing value.
  3. Sharpened my own work across frontend, testing, and infrastructure-adjacent tasks.
