Instacart
Frontend Engineer Intern, Summer 2019
Work
Instacart’s toronto office is responsible for the B2B product line of the company.
We onboard groccery retailers to our e-commerce platform, support their launch, and ensure the success of their
white-label e-commerce solution with a toolkit of solutions. In this line of business, I was invovled in two groups of work:
1. Client support and feature requests
My day-to-day work would include fixing reported client bugs and adding in new features.
A few of the features I worked on include: ensuring ADA compliancy in our retailer, adding in new delivery flow functionalities,
revamping the timeslot behaviour under pickup context, and so on.
2. Scalable and resuable frontend architecture
A new project was started to depreciate our Angular repository for widgets and create a
central React based repository where all the widgets would live for scalability and
performance improvments. During my time, I created the first succesful component refactor
and continued with several more during my internship.
Takeaway
The one thing that stands out to me during this internship was the amazing coworkers that I got to work with.
Under a comfrotable and constructive environment, I learned so much from my colleagues under getting code reviews,
doing code reviews and simple conversations as well.
