2019 — 2019

Internship of 6 months at Gandi, french leading domain name registrar, mentored by Gandi's Front-End Lead Developer.

I have first started my internship by building a simple static webpage: Postmaster, which aims at guiding users of Gandi's email offering through solving common email delivery rejections.

The page is available in $n languages and leverages React HTML rendering and Gandi's internal UI components library.

I then was assigned a more ambitious project, "Gandi in Numbers", which is a project in order to publish information in the form of numbers and statistics about Gandi. I had strong ownership on the creation and development of this project and was abble to be proactive in term of strategic and technical choice.

It consists of a React (isomorphic) web application which leverages both client-side and server-side rendering, following a progressive enchancement strategy, and is built on top of a custom technical stack that I have built from scratch with the ambition of turning this stack into a light, re-usable web applications framework.

Technical highlights include:

  • React & React Redux
  • Custom build system using Webpack, to produce optimized client & server JavaScript bundles with Babel, CSS stylesheets with Sass, (s)CSS Modules and PostCSS / Autoprefixer.
  • Code quality tooling using ESLint, Flow, Prettier.
  • Server side rendering, for performance and accessibilty improvment.
  • Node.js web infrastructure with Express.js.
  • Creation of specific React Components, leveraging Hooks / Context APIs and Redux
  • Uses of React Hooks and Context.
  • Unified HTTP requests API both on the server and in the browser using isomorphic-fetch.

Data came from a REST API that I wrote in Node.js, which was introduced to proxify internals datas from a distant Prometheus and serve them as an Express middleware.

Units test was made with Jest, and the they was typed with Flow, as such as API.
