Overview

This was my first professional software development role, at Webonise Labs — a software services company based in India. I was placed on a large client project for DRF (Daily Racing Form), one of the leading horse racing data and betting platforms in the US.

The project involved a team of around 300 people split across many sub-teams, each responsible for different parts of the platform. My contribution was on the ReactJS frontend, specifically building and updating the live news feed — the component that surfaces race news, results, and updates in real time to users on the site.

My Contribution

ReactJS news feed development

Built and updated React components for the live news feed section of the platform — consuming REST API endpoints to fetch race news and results, rendering them in a responsive feed layout, and handling the update cycle to keep content fresh without full page reloads.

Working within a team of this scale meant learning to operate inside an established codebase, follow existing patterns and coding standards, coordinate with sub-teams through defined API contracts, and ship changes that integrate cleanly without disrupting other parts of the platform. A valuable first lesson in professional software development at scale.
