Explore Intern - WebXT Team (Remote)
-
May 2022 - Aug 2022
Worked with 2 other interns to redesign a help/wiki page for a big data analytics tool used internally. The webpage was made using Docusaurus, a React-based static site generator. It incorporated a dynamic landing page, Azure AAD authentication, improved search functionality, light/dark mode, and a chatbot (named Athena). During the internship, we made the website from the ground up, released the beta, and gathered feedback to make further improvements. The site was used by hundreds of users during release week alone.
