Kurrent Navigator Desktop App
Kurrent

Kurrent Navigator

Played a major role in migrating Kurrent Navigator from its legacy StencilJS implementation to the current Electron desktop application built with Svelte 5 and SvelteKit — available on macOS, Linux (Flathub), and Windows.

  • Built a type-safe client–server data layer with SvelteKit Remote Functions for loading and updating cluster statistics, connectors, and stream data.
  • Implemented the Connectors management interface end-to-end, built on a dynamic, easily extensible form system with custom interactive inputs.
  • Built complex, desktop-grade UI components, including resizable data tables with virtualised rendering for large datasets.
  • Modernised the Navigator interface during the migration, replacing legacy components and aligning layouts, spacing, and visual patterns with the Svelte design system.
  • Delivered operational safeguards including role-based access control, production-environment warnings, resilient error recovery, and quorum-aware cluster shutdown and failover controls.
Couchbase Capella
Couchbase

Couchbase Capella

Played a key role in the React-to-Svelte rebuild of Couchbase Capella’s interface, helping deliver a simpler, redesigned developer experience for the award-winning multi-cloud DBaaS.

  • Worked with design and product teams to rebuild and simplify developer workflows across the Capella UI.
  • Implemented replication capabilities and Single Sign-On workflows for enterprise deployments.
  • Delivered Private Link and App Services experiences across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Built Data Tools interfaces for working with data inside the platform, contributing to the product recognised as Best Cloud Data Management Solution 2023–24.
Dusk Web Wallet
Dusk

Dusk Web Wallet

Shipped Dusk Web Wallet through its 1.0 launch and open-source release, then continued developing bridge, migration, validation, staking, and rewards workflows.

This case study reflects the version shipped during my time on the team. The live product has since been updated.

  • Within the three-to-four-person team responsible for both Web Wallet and Explorer, owned much of the day-to-day product planning: created most delivery tickets and shaped priorities through internal feedback, technical needs, and community engagement across GitHub and Discord.
  • Shipped the 1.0 and open-source releases, including dark mode, automatic synchronisation, and w3sper.js integration.
  • Modernised the application foundation through SvelteKit 2 and Vite 5 upgrades.
  • Built EVM bridge and ERC-20/BEP-20 migration flows with Reown AppKit and Wagmi, including third-party wallet connections, transaction validation, chain switching, and approve/migrate steppers.
  • Shaped consistent interaction patterns across bridge, migration, validation, and core account journeys.
  • Developed staking features including partial unstaking, partial reward claiming, and multi-profile account switching.
