Creating a tool to replace the paper-based employee journey
My first mission
My journey as a Front-End Software Engineer at UFF started by trying to demystify all of the verbosity of such a big company. UFF stands for Union Financière de France (Financial Union of France) and it's a financial company specialized in wealth management since 1968.
And like any other company, the specificity of the company terms and language is difficult to digest for a freshly graduated engineer. As such, I spend a few months ingesting a lot of vocabulary and discovering the tools that help the employees to work better.
After that and a few weeks of adaption, the point was simple, there was already an application that allowed employees to manage their client portfolio, but no a dedicated one for registering and easily managing companies account.
Therefore, I was told that I would be in charge of the development of a new web application to improve the work of the employees.
EasyCo or how to improve the user experience ?
The speech was simple: the employees still work by filling and sending paper, it is very tedious and handwritten input tends to make the work more complicated, and to generate many more errors when copying the information. So it was time to create an application that would be simple, intuitive, fast, efficient and with a clean UI.
The languages used to build this application were:
Backend: JAVA (already built)
Frontend: Angular
Component library: Ng-Zorro
And after a few months working on it, we released the version 1 of our application. All of the feedbacks were thankful and positive.
Thanks for reading this small presentation of my first mission as Front-End software engineer. It was very challenging and rewarding.
