• An open source Redis database metrics visualization tool - www.rediscope.com
• Designed live metrics visualization with customizable data collection intervals and ability to set a maximum number of visualized data points for enhanced data resolution.
• Initiated a PostgreSQL database for relational data storage and accessibility in an ACID compliant structure with strict schemas, enabling secure concurrent connections from multiple clients.
• Built functionalities for improved user control. Secure login, store, access, and delete database aliases and URLs.
• Prepared for production, application dockerization for quick and reliable deployment on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Created a custom domain name using AWS Route53.
• Developed under tech accelerator OSLabs (opensourcelabs.io).

Berlin, DE

• An open source scientific application for data capture - microbe growth in shake flasks
• Engineered a biotech geared application for tracking experimental conditions, key events, and results in a SQL database to minimize data redundancy through proper use of foreign keys.
• Use of single page architecture and implementation of React Router for effective page navigation. Improved user experience and reduced network traffic through reduced server calls.
• Leveraged React’s Context API to store application data to directly access and update state without manually passing information through the component tree at each level. Reduced code complexity and simplified state.
