At a glance
Modernization should target the interactions users can actually feel.
Rebuilt slow Turbo and Stimulus interactions as focused React components, implemented drag and drop with DnD Kit, and scoped shared state through Context and memoization.
Improved the most interaction-heavy surfaces without forcing a wholesale platform rewrite.
The choice behind the implementation.
- Challenge
- Interaction-heavy surfaces felt slow, but the existing Rails application remained productive elsewhere.
- Decision
- Introduce React only where interaction density and user-visible latency justified it.
- Trade-off
- A hybrid boundary needs discipline, but it avoids the risk and cost of rewriting working product areas.
The constraint
The platform already had a productive Rails foundation. The problem was concentrated in interaction-heavy surfaces where server-driven updates felt slow. Replacing the full application would have expanded risk without improving the rest of the product.
What I delivered
- Built a drag-and-drop workflow in React using DnD Kit.
- Converted slow Turbo and Stimulus interactions into focused React components.
- Managed shared state with the Context API and tuned recalculation through memoization.
Result
The most demanding interactions became more responsive without creating a second competing application architecture.
The public boundary is deliberate.
