Overview 🔗

A dual-purpose platform for Reliance Finance: an internal dashboard for loan officers and a customer-facing portal for loan applicants. Covers the entire lending lifecycle — from application intake through approval, disbursement, and repayment tracking.

Role & Context 🔗

As founding engineer and Tech Lead, I built the frontend from scratch — handling everything from requirements gathering to production deployment. I also managed a small team of engineers and coordinated directly with stakeholders.

Key Features 🔗

Application Intake 🔗

Multi-step loan application forms with document upload, validation, and real-time status tracking.

Approval Workflows 🔗

Configurable approval routing with role-based access controls and status tracking.

Credit Scoring Integration 🔗

Real-time integration with backend credit scoring services for risk assessment.

Data Tables & Reporting 🔗

Complex data tables with filtering, sorting, and export for loan portfolio management.

Customer Portal 🔗

External-facing interface for applicants to check loan status, upload documents, and view repayment schedules.

Build Notes 🔗

Data Fetching Strategy 🔗

SWR handles all API data fetching with caching and revalidation. This was particularly useful for lending workflows where loan status changes frequently — officers need to see up-to-date information without manually refreshing the page, but also shouldn’t hammer the backend with unnecessary requests.

Dual Audience 🔗

The platform serves two distinct audiences: internal loan officers who need complex workflows, data tables, and approval tools, and external applicants who need a simple, guided experience. Each audience gets its own interface layer while sharing the same API contracts and validation logic.

Monorepo Considerations 🔗

With only two frontend targets (dashboard and customer portal) sharing similar patterns, a full monorepo setup wasn’t justified. Instead, shared component patterns are documented and replicated across both codebases.
