I am still working on the backend services for the GoDaddy Studio app, building the rest of the endpoints for creating, organising, and synchronising projects along with the rest of what I was doing in my previous role. However, since my promotion, I now work closer with teams in the wider GoDaddy ecosystem and am mostly self-managed and work autonomously. I have also taken on a guild coordinator role designed to facilitate communication and coordination between all of Studio's Service Engineers.Since this is my current role, I will continuously update and enhance this description over time.Technologies:- Languages: Golang & Kotlin (and learning Rust)- AWS: S3, RDS Aurora, SNS & SQS, EKS, ECS, DynamoDB, Cloud Formation, Lambda- Microservices with Docker / Kubernetes- Serverless Functions / Cloud Functions- Test-Driven Development with both Golang and Kotlin- CI and CD: Github Actions- A/B testing, RUM, Application visibility & monitoring: Optimizely, Amplitude, Segment, Elastic, PagerDuty- Other: Git, MySQL (Aurora RDS), Redis, Sceptre, AlgoliaWork in a team that follows:- Agile / Kanban- 360 reviews, 1 on 1's and frequent feedback- Self-imposed production support by weekly rotation.

I worked on the Backend services for the GoDaddy Studio app, building rest endpoints for creating, organising and synchronising projects. I also built and maintained endpoints for managing usable content through pre-created project templates, images from third-party services like Unsplash and Search, and many more app content and content marketing features. We would frequently conduct experiments to determine which features our users like most and only implement features based on strong user signals.I work closely with the mobile teams/squads tasked with introducing more of GoDaddy's projects only to interested GoDaddy Studio customers and consistently exceed targets quarter on quarter. I also work closely with the eCommerce team to ensure iOS subscriptions and renewals are accounted for correctly and that subscribers get all appropriate GoDaddy product bundles accompanying the subscription.Technologies:- Languages: Golang & Kotlin- AWS: S3, RDS Aurora, SNS & SQS, EKS, ECS, DynamoDB, Cloud Formation, Lambda- Microservices with Docker / Kubernetes- Serverless Functions / Cloud Functions- Test-Driven Development with both Golang and Kotlin- CI and CD: Github Actions- A/B testing, RUM, Application visibility & monitoring: Optimizely, Amplitude, Segment, Elastic, PagerDuty- Other: Git, MySQL (Aurora RDS), Redis, Sceptre, AlgoliaWork in a team that follows:- Agile / Kanban- 360 reviews, 1 on 1's and frequent feedback- Self-imposed production support by weekly rotation.
