Background

Asset management is always a tricky topic in most development (or design) projects. Also the ideal ways manage the resources changes with scale and asset types making it even more tough to create a singular solution.

Task

The task was to create a management system for icons which could scale to accommodate 200+ custom created icons for UNI, is scalable, fast and dumb-proof.

My role

This wasn't a task which was assigned to me but a problem which I saw in our internal process. So I took it as a challenge to solve. Since my teammates were essentially the users, I relied on their feedback and also took help of dev team in setting up Angular app on Firebase.
