The goal is to provide the user with the same experience across all workloads. The major feature that I worked on was developing a paginated member list with support for member management (promote/demote/remove) and server-side search to find and manage people in large groups.- Developed a microservice for creating and sending a welcome email whenever a user joins or is added to an O365 Group. The welcome email is supposed to increase the engagement of users towards various workloads which are based on O365 Groups.Exposure: React, Redux, C#, Exchange Architecture
