Challenges I ran into

Technical Challenges:
To build out the live notifications, my initial approach was to use the gRpc client, but the only available library was written in go which I wasnt familiar with. There wasnt a native websocket implementation, so I had to implement live polling as a workaround in the ts library to get the same result.
