Work Experience:

March 2022 - Present

Implemented internal tools for primary launch of product using a Kotlin back-end with a GraphQL database and creating cross-team microservices and collaborated deeply with front-end for data modeling
Presented several design proposals regarding data models, database structure improvements and full queries/mutations
Re-designed logging and alarms for the codebase using Datadog to improve product monitoring
Helped production level debugging during initial launch of product
Optimized runtime for several APIs through architectural changes and major refactoring while maintaining backwards compatibility for several platforms

June 2021 - March 2022

Used AWS suite of services such as DynamoDB, Lambda, API Gateway and CodePipeline to build and deploy APIs
Developed lambda and step functions in NodeJS, Typescript and Java (legacy maintenance) for a payment processing application and E-Commerce application and runtime was optimized for scaling situations (such as Black Friday)
Created automation scripts and developed the CDK to allow packaging and deployment of a pipeline for several environments (Dev, QA, staging, prod, etc.)
Tested and debugged deployment pipelines as well as live lambdas and step functions for clients on short-notice basis
Designed and implemented architectural changes regarding the flow of data through the API

May 2019 - September 2020

Maintain and develop web apps written with Angular displaying meteorological data, used by Canadians everyday
Built 2 major components of brand-new web app front-end, one using ag-grid and Highcharts for data analysis and other using OpenLayers (GIS) to track objects and place them on a map
Used Angular, RxJs, Node.js and Material
Daily meetings (Scrum), monthly releases and in-depth code review
Worked on back-end components, mainly an in-house search system and then introduced many new features for accessibility, updating it to Angular from basic Javascript/jQuery and HTML
Presented several meetings regarding feature development and key deliverables
Integrated every build on a Jenkins server and did monthly log checks for errors on Kibana
Executed SQL queries and helped design data payloads for use in the front-end applications

Git: Used for every academic assignment, as well as heavily used at ECCC for version tracking.
Jenkins: Used as a pipeline for some academic projects, as well as used at ECCC for all the logs regarding the builds that were pushed.
Kibana: Used at ECCC to check for error logs as well as data payload statuses in various components.
Scrum: Plenty of experience in both a professional and academic environment, with regards to daily standup as well as weekly sprint updates towards the final deliverables.
