• Migrated global state management to Redux Toolkit and redefined how components consumed the global store, cutting code volume by 27%, and reducing needless React re-renders by over 20%. • Used RTK Query to simplify caching server state, and extracted complex local state into React Hooks, shrinking the global store by 47%, and improving encapsulation/co-location of component implementation details. • Redesigned React components to use the Children API over Context, allowing them to be split by domain into more reusable, composable pieces (e.g., layout, business logic), while removing Context’s performance issues. • Defined automated Jest integration tests to protect against regressions for the HTTP2 and GraphQL testing modules as they were migrated to Redux Toolkit, while using them to catch and remove stray mutation bugs.
