    As the head engineer, I led the build of a strong, easy-to-grow platform. We used Vue.js and Nuxt.js for a fast-moving front end, FastAPI and GraphQL for smart back end data work, and Jira with GitHub to keep our project work smooth. We made a no-cookie tool to track data that kept user info safe and gave clear, useful facts through a simple, clear board.
