Berkshire Associates
Challenge
Berkshire Associates was running a critical affirmative action compliance platform on legacy JSP .NET that was becoming impossible to maintain. They needed to modernize the entire frontend while ensuring zero data loss and maintaining complex business logic. The platform handled sensitive employee data, so security and reliability were non-negotiable.
Our Process
Vue 3 with Composition API and TypeScript for full type safety. Quasar framework for enterprise UI components and layout system. Tailwind CSS for custom styling. Vitest for unit testing and Cypress for E2E testing. Pinia for state management. Integrated with existing .NET backend APIs.
Reviewed the product goals, user paths, and existing technical constraints.
Mapped the core workflows before changing the interface or architecture.
Built the highest-impact screens and features first so stakeholders could test early.
Connected the frontend to real data, APIs, and content systems instead of static mockups.
Checked performance, accessibility, and responsive behavior across key breakpoints.
Prepared the project for launch with clear handoff notes and maintainable code.
Conclusion
The Solution
Architected a complete frontend rewrite using Vue 3 with TypeScript for type safety on sensitive data flows. Implemented comprehensive unit testing with Vitest and E2E testing with Cypress to ensure feature parity with the legacy system. Used Quasar framework for enterprise-grade UI components. Created a detailed migration plan with parallel running systems to validate data accuracy before full cutover. Worked in close collaboration with PMs and designers to improve UX while maintaining familiar workflows for existing users.
- A focused implementation plan tied to the client workflow
- Reusable components and data structures that reduce future rework
- Launch-ready pages with project-specific SEO and performance checks
