Truist Retail Web 2021

When I was hired by BB&T, I had no idea that we would merge with SunTrust to become Truist. We merged a year and a half into my tenure with BB&T. Once we merged, it was an exciting time and gave everyone a lot of opportunities to grow and try something new at the company. I decided to step more into a front-end developer role and help lead the retail web team in developing the retail web platform. It was fun to work with such knowledgable people in a fast driven environment. Let's take a look at some of the application that I helped to develop. The numbers are changed because this is now a live site. Our web application was developed in the JavaScript framework, Angular. I personally enjoyed learning Angular because it allowed me to use it moving forward in future projects. Creating components and working with a design system was amazing. The structure of the enterprise was we had a design systems team who create enterprise wide components and patterns. The next level, which is the level I was on, Retail, was the areas of focus teams. We incorporated the design system into our project and if we created a component that other teams needed, we could push the component into the design system where it would be tested and absorbed by the DS. Due to being a bank, we had to focus on accessibility and make sure everything was designed and coded to standard.
