Bespoke Project Management System using React and Redux

As apart of one of my contracts, I was tasked with developing a bespoke project management system allowing internal and external clients to view and update the status of a project at any given time.

The system was built using the very latest technologies at the time of writing this article. These were: React, which is an open-source framework, built by Facebook, for rendering the interface and managing the components; Redux which is another open-source framework for managing the the state of the application and allowing actions to be distributed throughout the system, Socket.IO , another open-source framework that creates and manages a persistent connection between a client and server, yielding real-time interactions between the user and the system.

Another requirement of the system was that it had to interact with another system (also built by me) for executing an internal process. This requirement was achieved by allowing both systems to talk to each other using APIs.

Furthermore, Bitbucket was used throughout the project, so that a log of each iteration with the system could be recorded and the repository could be cloned for use by additional developers as the system expands.  Lastly, Webpack was used so that resources and assets could be compressed and various other scripts executed upon compiling for live production.

Testimonials

Dean recently created an excellent animated logo for my website, Bude & Beyond (www.budeandbeyond.co.uk). What I never realised at the outset was how much time, effort, discussion, creativity and dedication goes into producing a logo. After an initial discussion, Dean created many versions, in different colour schemes and formats, which he also animated. He sought appropriate feedback and went the extra mile to ensure that the colours and design were absolutely spot on. I was very impressed at his determination to get it right and to re-create and adapt until both he and I were both very happy with the final result.

So, I’d say Dean’s major strength is communication. I’m not IT-focused, but I appreciate a good-looking website/logo, so it really helps that he is able to discuss ideas in a friendly and accessible way, without over-use of jargon. He explains things well, and will interpret ideas in a client-focused way. He is extremely responsive, so wait times are very short. He listens to his client and creates ideas based on what he hears/understands. He checks all along the way (wording, colours, images, positioning) and will ask: what if we try this? He is also very open to constructive comments. Therefore, he provides plenty of guided choice.

I’m rather proud to now have a Dean Wronowski animated logo already in use on my social media and ready for my website (currently undergoing a major revamp). Dean’s designs are his trademark. Fresh, colourful and lively, they always try to encompass the nature of the product he is working with.

He is a remarkable talent which Bude is fortunate to have
