About the Project
Customela is a SaaS platform focused on automating contract creation using dynamic templates. Users can define variables, clauses, and structured objects inside a WYSIWYG editor, enabling reusable and versioned contract models. I was responsible for designing and implementing the frontend architecture and integrating complex editor logic with backend systems.
Project Challenges
Integrating a WYSIWYG editor with a dynamic data model for variables, clauses, and nested objects.
Supporting versioned contract templates while maintaining backward compatibility.
Ensuring predictable editor behavior when inserting, updating, or removing dynamic placeholders.
Achievements
Built the foundational frontend architecture, including layouts, base components, and theming (light/dark).
Implemented reliable mechanisms for reading, writing, and updating dynamic contract variables.
Enabled versioned contract models without breaking existing documents or user workflows.
