For more than 2.5 years, I contributed to the development and continuous improvement of the Medad Library Portal, a large-scale library and digital repository management system built on a React frontend and a Drupal-based backend. The platform serves libraries, academic institutions, and digital content providers, offering powerful tools for managing collections, memberships, user access, and integrated discovery services.
My work involved feature development, performance enhancements, and resolving complex issues across both frontend and backend layers. I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams and delivered high-impact improvements that strengthened the platform’s security, usability, and system-wide capabilities.
