I developed a Next.js-based web platform for a research group specializing in figures of speech. This platform facilitates user submissions and annotations, providing an interactive medium for linguistic analysis. I also played a key role in enhancing our development processes by revamping our CI/CD pipeline using GitLab, Docker, and Docker Compose. This overhaul not only automated and accelerated testing, building, and deployment phases but also resulted in a significant time saving of over 30 minutes per deployment. Further contributing to our project's success, I established a robust staging environment, streamlining testing and quality assurance to ensure a more reliable and efficient workflow.As lead developer, I hosted weekly standup meetings, conducted code reviews for merge requests, and set up a documentation site with a CD pipeline to ensure proper project documentation.

As a Full Stack Developer, I spearheaded the implementation of advanced features in our web platform, such as Rich Text Support and dynamic highlighting functionality for annotations, enhancing the user experience significantly. My focus on optimization led to a remarkable 80% reduction in page load time, achieved by consolidating data retrieval into a single API call using server-side props, efficiently distributing data with Context API, and implementing pagination to minimize data overload. On the backend, I engineered and deployed robust endpoints for our Golang-based REST API, integrating seamlessly with a MySQL database. Additionally, I authored comprehensive tests using Jest and React Testing Library, ensuring the highest standards of code integrity and functionality.

As a Freelance Web Developer, I had the opportunity to work on a web development project for a client, delivering a high-quality and customized solution. The project involved designing and developing a website using Next.js and TailwindCSS to meet the specific needs of the client. I worked closely with the client to understand their requirements and implemented features such as a booking functionality and an email contact us form. The website was well-received by the client and has helped them streamline their booking process and improve communication with customers. This project allowed me to showcase my skills in web development and deliver exceptional results.

I was responsible for creating demo processes for various HPE GreenLake solutions, including Ezmeral, Private Cloud Enterprise, Aruba SASE, Citrix VDI, Zerto, Azure Stack, and DSCC. I designed a React.js webpage to showcase the available demos and their corresponding guides, which were created using Microsoft Word. To enhance the user experience, I recorded the demo processes using OBS Studio and automated parts of them with Python, PowerShell, and Bash scripts. I regularly worked with VMWare vSphere VMs to set up demo environments and even created a dedicated VM to host the demo website using Apache.

Efficiently managed and maintained the company’s Wordpress website by developing a Python program that uses Selenium to automate the process of creating, updating, and deleting products from a csv file, reducing 2 months of manual labor to just 4 hours. Also Managed the company’s server system, including configuring the VPN server for remote access and upgrading the storage of the NAS server.

Contributed to the development of a cognitive linguistic research group’s website at the University of Waterloo. I worked on both the frontend, using Next.js and TypeScript, and the backend, using a Golang REST API. I created responsive and intuitive interfaces using NextJS components and Material UI. To ensure optimal website performance and maintain high code quality, I utilized GitLab pipeline for testing and linting. I also streamlined development processes by transitioning the front-end framework from Ant Design to Material-UI. Additionally, I created a backend endpoint that dissociates an instance with a figure.

Developed a Python program that efficiently extracted residential property information and images from a Japanese real estate website using BeautifulSoup4. The program then automatically entered the data into the company’s WordPress website using Selenium, streamlining the data entry process.
