SonderBlu
SonderBlu is a production web platform combining video content with social discussion. I joined as a full stack developer on a small distributed team and work across the stack — building the screens people use and the endpoints those screens depend on.

What I built
- — Frontend screens in React and Next.js, built from Figma designs and matched closely to spec.
- — REST API endpoints in Node.js and Express backing user feeds, comments and profile data.
- — MongoDB queries and schema updates as features evolved.
- — Shared application state with Redux Toolkit across feature areas.
- — Firebase authentication and push notifications on selected features.
Responsibilities
- — End-to-end feature delivery: interface, endpoint, data.
- — Responsive implementation across breakpoints.
- — Bug and performance fixes reported by QA or users, verified locally before deployment.
- — Daily standups, sprint planning, code review, feature branches and pull requests.
The most useful lesson: on a social product, the data shape decides the interface. Getting the feed and comment payloads right early made every screen after it simpler.
