Arbor Education
Large UK EdTech platform for school administration, data, and communication
Overview
Arbor Education is a large UK-based EdTech platform used by schools to manage administration, data, and communication. The system had been developed over many years with a complex frontend stack combining React and legacy SenchaJS.
The Problem
Complex legacy codebase with departing team members, requiring rapid knowledge transfer and system stabilization.
The Solution
Took ownership of the legacy frontend, resolved long-standing bugs, and gradually migrated functionality to React.
My Contribution
Took over responsibility for a large legacy frontend codebase. Investigated and resolved bugs several years old. Migrated functionality from SenchaJS to React. Developed React Native applications. Maintained core components consumed by a large engineering team.
Impact & Results
Ensured continuity and stability during team transition. Reduced technical friction by addressing legacy issues. Recognized internally for high impact with significant compensation increases.
Current State
Left the project to pursue a new opportunity in real-time gaming.
