Authorized.by – Brand authorization and trust-seal platform

Authorized.by was a brand authorization and trust-seal platform connecting brands with online retailers.

The product had two important parts: an administration area for managing relationships between brands and retailers, and an embeddable seal that shops could display on their own websites.

When I joined the project, the frontend was partially built but not ready for launch.

The frontend was caught somewhere between prototype and production. Features were incomplete, parts of the interface were unstable, frontend errors were common, and there was no proper build process despite a real launch deadline.

The embeddable seal came with a different set of constraints. Because it had to run on third-party websites, bundle size, reliability, compatibility, and isolation mattered far more than they would inside the main application.

Browser and mobile support added another layer, including Safari, older versions of Edge, IE9+, and smaller mobile devices.

I helped move the inherited frontend toward launch readiness by completing unfinished features, fixing errors, and making the AngularJS application more stable across real browsers and devices.

I set up the Webpack build process, made the application safe to minify, and worked through browser and mobile compatibility issues.

For the embeddable seal, I recommended replacing the existing implementation and built a smaller widget with Preact. The original direction was too heavy and too tightly coupled for code that had to run safely on other companies’ websites.

This was the kind of work that happens when a product is already close to launch but still too fragile and incomplete to ship with confidence.

The job was to bring the administration area, build process, browser behavior, mobile support, and embeddable widget into a more stable and shippable state under real technical and timeline constraints.
