Engaging Business is the business-facing workplace happiness service, alongside Engaging Works for consumer-facing workplace happiness.
Engaging Business is provided as a web platform, with access to a variety of interconnected services aimed to improve the happiness and engagement of a workforce. Some features include surveys, job posting and purchasing content for employees.
I worked as the de facto lead front-end developer for Engaging Business. I was responsible for everything client-side, including feature delivery, establishing processes and patterns for constructing new features, testing and bug-fixing, and more. I created architectural patterns and created tools to help enable rapid delivery of new features and enhancements to existing features, and enabled a velocity that would otherwise only be achieved by a team of a much larger size.
Beyond technical work, I held responsibility for communicating with non-technical stakeholders - internal and external - leading agile ceremonies, mentoring and upskilling other developers, and creating workflows between designers, developers and testers.
My work on Engaging Business was critical in re-launching the brand, and the code I wrote & patterns I designed are still in use to this day.
