Renewable Energy
As the lead front-end developer, I played a key role in architecting, managing, and implementing the front-end and mid-tier of Lifespan, a platform designed for renewable energy operations. Over three years, we evolved Lifespan from a simple prototype into a robust, enterprise-grade solution with multi-language support, theming, and advanced security capabilities—essential for managing power-grid level permissions.
Built with React, Highcharts, and React Query, the platform delivers a seamless and data-driven user experience, balancing performance with the complexity of large-scale energy infrastructure.
