UserVoice Platform Modernization

At UserVoice, I have worked on a variety of projects focused on modernizing the UI and the codebase. Many UI components were still built using Angular or Ruby on Rails. Even a good amount of the more current React components needed a refresh to be more functional.

One of the key projects was building a more robust and performant modal system. This included improved visuals, modal context management, and reusability across many components throughout the application. The new modal system provides a consistent user experience and reduces code duplication.

Another major initiative was creating platform-wide attachment rendering UI. This involved building new attachment upload, preview, and rendering functionality, which allowed inline viewing and editing in all places that had media attachments. This significantly improved the user experience when working with files and media across the platform.

I also built modern table and grid components using TanStack Table, providing powerful data visualization capabilities with sorting, filtering, and pagination. These components replaced older, less performant implementations and provided a better developer experience.

Throughout all of these modernization efforts, I maintained a focus on improving web accessibility and performance. This included implementing WCAG compliance standards, optimizing bundle sizes, and improving render performance across the application.
