Splunk Platform Modernization
Client project: Splunk Inc. (Crest Data Client Engagement)
Technical Deep Dive
Delivered incremental modernization for enterprise dashboards with a strangler migration pattern, contract hardening, security remediation, and accessibility upgrades.
Client Context
Hundreds of cloud and on-prem dashboard surfaces were constrained by tightly coupled Backbone/jQuery code and global mutable state.
Execution
Used route-level feature flags to incrementally replace Backbone screens with React + TypeScript modules, then upgraded a forked Highcharts layer from v4 to v6 with abstraction wrappers and staged rollout controls.
Outcome
Reduced migration and security risk, improved perceived p95 responsiveness by about 30%, and enforced WCAG 2.1 guardrails through design-token and component-level accessibility changes.
“Led Backbone/jQuery to React + TypeScript modernization, shipped a security-driven Highcharts v4 to v6 migration, and improved dashboard responsiveness by ~30%.”
