In the words of the great coach Vince Lombardi, “Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” As a software engineer, I design event driven frameworks that send events as notifications to our CRM platform users. The frameworks connect various systems by leveraging direct calls through APIs written in Java, AWS topics that use Lambdas for pub/sub notifications, as well as batch processing for bulk events to the CRM platform. I troubleshoot production incidents to determine root cause and deploy solutions to mitigate defects.
