Features

• Worked in a team of 2 to refactor the code base of the application and make improvements on its functionality
• Refactored the application to TypeScript
• Modularized the front end and added Redux to centralize the state management on the store
• Added modularity in the back end by spreading the logic of the DB and its models across different files and improved the design by adding associations to existing Sequelize tables
• Implemented unit tests on both front end back end of the application, fully mocking the api service and redux hooks, using Jest, React Testing Library and Supertest
