As a backend developer at Appomni, I tackled the challenge of redesigning the RBAC permission system, which resulted an upgrade to 100% of existing APIs and provided customers with a system for complete control over user access. Using Django and Django Rest Framework, I expanded existing systems to handle the dynamic input and generation of reports that was heavily used by 80% of customers. I also collaborated with frontend developers to refresh AppOmni's front page dashboard and utilized TimeScaleDB to improve the efficiency of our database APIs, leading to a significant reduction in runtime. Additionally, I played a key role in team restructuring by defining a Jira workflow focused on productivity and engineer efficiency, which streamlined our development process and improved communication among team members.

Acquired Yapta Jan 2020I led the modernization of a monolithic legacy Python 2 codebase to a Dockerized Python 3 microservice solution, which enabled our company to achieve SOC2 compliance. I also designed the architecture and assisted in the development of an external data aggregation tool that increased our overall consumed data by 15%. Additionally, I spearheaded a company-wide initiative to use Kafka as a messaging queue and developed a reusable topic partitioning system that allowed multiple services to consume data asynchronously.

Acquired by Coupa Jan 2020I expanded our development team to five members by streamlining the interview process with a RESTful microservice that provided practical coding assessments. This approach significantly reduced the time needed to review candidates' code and allowed me to hire top talent. I also played a key role in expanding the automation platform, which led to a 220% increase in customer usage. In addition, I continued to support the transition to a CI/CD deployment model and initiated the upgrade to Python 3 by defining application and library skeletons for the company to follow. Lastly, I collaborated with a coworker to introduce new technologies and concepts to the engineering team through lunch-and-learn sessions.
