Angular Upgrade to v17 + Signals
Modernized the codebase and enabled Signals for cleaner state patterns.
My contribution
Senior Software Engineer · Zeotap
- Planned and executed a safe upgrade path for legacy Angular components.
- Improved maintainability by aligning to modern Angular patterns.
- Problem
- Legacy Angular patterns were slowing delivery and making state harder to reason about.
- Constraint
- The upgrade had to land without disrupting active product work.
- Decision
- Planned a staged upgrade to Angular 17 and introduced Signals where they clarified state.
- Trade-off
- Accepted a longer migration path rather than a risky big-bang rewrite.
- Result
- A maintainable Angular 17 codebase with modern state patterns.
