Played a major role in the transition the product's UI from it's original (6-year old) look/feel to it's current UI.
This was built with an in-house Ruby on Rails view... more engine, which allowed us to encapsulate functional, stateful JavaScript (React & Immutable), along with namespaced, BEM-style LESS to each individual view via .haml templates.
