I spent two years working with Lyft—first building the Lyft Developer Portal to enable external developers to build on the Lyft API, then contributing to high-profile web initiatives in the Frontend Platform team. The work included remote collaboration with regular onsite meetings in San Francisco.
Highlights
- Developer portal enabling third-party integrations with Lyft API
- React + Redux front end for the portal's auth, app registration, and API-key flows
- TypeScript across the codebase for typed API models and safer refactors
- Frontend platform contributions to high-visibility web properties
- Remote collaboration with regular onsite meetings in San Francisco
- API documentation and developer experience improvements
Why clients care
A good developer portal is how external teams self-serve: register an app, get API keys, read the docs, and start building without a support ticket. That cuts onboarding time and the volume of integration questions the team has to field.
Result
A developer portal external teams used to build on the Lyft API, plus later work on lyft.com and shared Frontend Platform tooling.
