Engineered a scalable HR application serving 500+ employees using React.js frontend, Node.js backend, and PostgreSQL on Azure, resulting in a 60% reduction in manual processes. Established and configured the GitHub repository and boilerplate framework to enable structured collaboration, CI/CD workflows, and version control. Designed and normalized the database schema for employees, roles, and access management to improve query efficiency and reduce API response time. Built a reusable landing page and core UI components in React to improve frontend maintainability and cut future development time by ~25%. Implemented RBAC and a modular backend-for-frontend (BFF) pattern to enforce role-specific access and secure HR workflows.
