	"description": "The objective of the project was to consolidate all Affinidi API offerings under a single, user-friendly console for both internal and external use. The console provided all the UI/UX components for Affinidi API offerings, making it easy for external customers to onboard and access documentation. I worked on the following:\n\n- Led all the architectural decisions for the Console, including Authentication, Authorization, Documentation, and Organizational Identities, as well as all shared functionality between API products.\n- Started with a modular monorepo that contained different products' UI/UX implementations, which we later refactored into a micro-frontend architecture with separate CI/CD pipelines so different API owner teams could manage their own product frontend, accompanied by a UI kit library.\n- Implemented core functionality such as Authentication and the Onboarding Experience. Created concepts aimed at organizations to streamline their onboarding process, such as Affinidi Project Concept and Organizational Identities attached to these projects.\n- Developed multiple products, including VC Schema Manager, Bulk VC Issuance, and Async VC Claim Flow as a product inside the console offering.\n- Collaborated with other teams, their staff engineers, and architects regarding the console project and helped them onboard their API products into the console."
