  Maintained a legacy product while planning and architecting a new product in the digital, remote-workforce collaboration space. Responsibilities included creating specifications for a new product, creating architecture requirements specific to the business requirements of the product. Planning the front-end and back-end application user and data flows, data storage, and design. Responsibilities also included setting up, and maintaining multiple development environments for development, QA, and testing. Our design called for a Laravel-PHP based backend, which implemented a REST protocol, allowing the front-end to communicate using JSON with our Angular.JS based front-end application. Using Angular.JS, we separated a majority of our application logic to the front-end, making the web application appear responsive to the user, and assisting in maintaining cross-device compatibility. Responsibilities also included implementing a responsive design, maintaining application usability across a variety of devices.
