Migrating a legacy app to modern Angular — invisibly

For Yotpo's eCommerce marketing platform, I owned a legacy AngularJS → Angular migration end to end: modernizing the stack with no disruption to the user experience, holding pixel-perfect fidelity to design, and backing the move with automated and manual tests.

A framework migration users never noticed

Legacy AngularJS migrations are risky precisely because users feel them — flows break, layouts shift, behavior drifts. I migrated Yotpo's legacy AngularJS code to the modern Angular framework without impacting the user experience.

I owned the end-to-end development process, from product definition through to production, rather than handing pieces off across the line.

Fidelity and confidence, by test coverage

I held implementations pixel-perfect to the design specifications, and developed automated and manual end-to-end, unit, and integration tests so the migration could move quickly without regressing.

When teams disagreed or schedules tightened, I resolved conflicts between teams and managed the difficult tasks to keep delivery on schedule.

Need to modernize a legacy frontend without scaring your users? That's exactly this kind of work.
